mnissl created an issue (vim/vim#20855) ### Steps to reproduce Vim does not respect the Windows display language or one of the preferred lanuages for the UI language. Instead vim uses the regional format. Example: Windows display language is set to `English (United States)` and regional format to `German (Germany)`. `:language` outputs: `Momentane Sprache: "LC_COLLATE=German_Germany.1252;LC_CTYPE=C;LC_MONETARY=German_Germany.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=Germa n_Germany.1252"` <img width="1042" height="1222" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3f5d5b14-8c37-4d21-bebc-6428f7855736" /> ### Expected behaviour Vim should use the Windows display language or one of the preferred lanuages (if set) as its UI language. ### Version of Vim 9.2.782 ### Environment Windows 11 ### Logs and stack traces ```shell ``` -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/20855 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
