Custom Locale Builder Tool Beta Now Available!
[NOTE: 31 July 2007, the tool is available again at its new URL: https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e4588c5e-8f21-45cc-b862-38df8d9bd528&displaylang=en]
The Microsoft Locale Builder Tool Beta 2 is now available for download. This requires Vista to run.
If you're interested in custom locale data or locales that aren't supported by Microsoft, I'd encourage you to download the tool and take a look at custom locales. I've previously blogged about custom locales, and its been possible to create your own with Microsoft.Net V2.0, but the Locale Builder tool makes it a lot easier.
Let me know how this tool works for you, and thanks to the Locale Builder team for making it happen!

Microsoft Locale Builder appears not to work under Windows 7 - is there a way to get it to work or some alternative?

Right click the installer & pick properties, then the compatibility tab and say to run for previous versions. Alternatively you can use the .Net 4.0 CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder class to build locales. Win7 supports "neutral" locales, but Locale Builder does not, so the CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder might be better
