3867 - Locale- nsIWin32Locale.GetPlatformLocale deos not return correct LCID

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

GetPlatformLocale does not return a correct LCID. LCID for "en-US" is 1033 but I
am getting 54. Looks like it's just returning the first entry of the
table. No country table is used, this is also a problem.

Fixed.  Checked in 3/5/98.

I verified it's working for en-US, en-GB, fr-FR, de-DE and ja-JP.

Can this also support locale to charset name mapping or it's someone else's
task?
E.g. en_US -> iso-8859-1
I need this for the conversion in order to talk to non unicode API.

** Checked with 4/8/99 evening Win32 build **

Following nhotta's 4/7/99 comment, I'll be marking this fix verified.
LocaleSelfTest.exe does include self-test mechanism for several locales
mentioned in nhotta's comment. (Try 'LocaleSelfTest -v'.)

The values obtained by the selft tests are:

en_US = 0x0409
en_GB = 0x0809
fr_FR = 0x040c
de_DE = 0x0407
ja_JP = 0x0411

These are all correct Win32 Locale ID hex values.

Given these results, it's safe to assume that GetPlatformLocale is
returning correct values for given locales.

happy.  if you want a more direct verification, you can run nsLocaleTest - of
course since i wrote it it might be biased :)
