System.Globalization.CultureInfo.ThreeLetterWindowsLanguageName Property

Gets the three-letter code for the language as defined in the Windows API.

Syntax

public virtual string ThreeLetterWindowsLanguageName { get; }

Value

Documentation for this section has not yet been entered.

Remarks

This property returns the same value as the Windows API method GetLocaleInfo with the LOCALE_SABBREVLANGNAME value. For example, the three-letter code for English (United States) as defined in the Windows API is "enu".

Note:

When communicating between processes or persisting data it is usually better to use the full CultureInfo.Name. Using just the language can lose context and data.
