Returns the identifier of the language used by 3ds Max.

This method complements MaxSDK::Util::GetLanguageTLA.

The language identifier is made up of a primary language identifier and a sublanguage identifier, both of which are from a set pre-defined identifiers that are part of the Windows Platform SDK.

Use WORD PRIMARYLANGID(WORD lgid) to retrieve the primary language identifier (such as LANG_ENGLISH, LANG_FRENCH, etc.), from the language identifier returned by this method. Use WORD SUBLANGID(WORD lgid) to retrieve the sublanguage identifier (such as SUBLANG_DEFAULT, SUBLANG_CHINESE_SIMPLIFIED, etc.), from the language identifier returned by this method.

For more information on language identifiers see National Language Support (on MSDN)
