Open regedit, browse to the location indicated, and examine the set of subkeys to understand which you require.

You need to use regedit to find the name of the correct Key/Val pair. In my case this was "sCountry" Then (vl-registry-read "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Control Panel\\International" "sCountry") Gave me United Kingdom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RepCad Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) Sorry lee mac, now I understand what you mean, but I couldn't find the key of system locate in "International" andو "sCountry" isn't what I need.

pkenewell Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) Perhaps (getvar "Locale")? If what you are wanting is the Language, then The AutoCAD setting would be the same would it not? In my system it is: (vl-registry-read "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Control Panel\\International\\User Profile" "Languages") EDIT or this? (vl-registry-read "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Control Panel\\International\\" "LocaleName") Edited March 9, 2020 by pkenewell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Be careful but you can use regedit and search to find the answer. Mine returned Australia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGAL Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Yes returns true key value, "LocaleName" = en-au v's "sCountry" = Australia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
