Re: [vim/vim] Vim does not respect Windows display language or preferred languages (Issue #20855)

h-east left a comment (vim/vim#20855)


Thanks for the pointer.  The fix went in as patch 9.2.0867, using
GetUserPreferredUILanguages().

> IMHO, the code to be changed is inside `get_mess_lang()` (`locale.c`, line 110). Also `gui_dwrite.cpp` needs to be revised as it uses `GetUserDefaultLocaleName()` (lines 836-855).

gui_dwrite.cpp is left as it is on purpose.  That locale name goes to DWrite's
CreateTextFormat(), so it describes the language of the text being drawn, not
the UI language: it affects glyph selection (Han unification) and font
fallback.  Passing the display language there would give the wrong glyphs to
someone who reads the UI in English but edits Japanese text.
