SystemLocale (Standard 8 Module Reference)

7/8/2014

Review the applicable Embedded Core modules and any examples for the SystemLocale setting in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).

This setting contains the ISO language-region identifier that specifies the default language, bitmap fonts, and code pages to use for ANSI (non-Unicode) programs on the system.

This value is not case-sensitive. If this setting in empty, the default value is en-US.

For a list of available language identifiers, see InputLocale.

The system locale specifies which bitmap fonts and code pages (for example, ANSI or DOS) are used on the system by default. The system locale setting affects only ANSI applications (non-Unicode) applications. The language for non-Unicode programs is a per-system setting.

This setting is required for all unattended installations. To prevent the Standard 8 Setup user interface (UI) from displaying, you must configure this setting.

Users can change the system locale by using Control Panel.

End users can change the system locale by using the Regional and Language Options inControl Panel.
