How to detect the language of MS Excel.

Question

Hi guys,

I'm trying to figure out a way of detecting the language of an installed version of Excel (ideally from C++). I need this to resolve an issue with computers on which the language of Excel differs from the Windows language (see this problem).

Answer 1

Using automation, the applications LanguageSettings object gives you that:

Application.LanguageSettings.LanguageID(msoLanguageIDUI)
