    How to detect language changes?

    I need to redundantly write C++ and C# programs to
    (1) determine the input language (german, french, english...)
    (2) determine changes in the input language (preferably a delegate rather
    than polling!)

    Can anyone guide me to the proper functions to call?
    Thanks,
    siegfried

      RE: How to detect language changes?

      There are no pre-existing functions for either item. In general you could
      try to split the text into words, and look for occurrances of the most common
      words in each language. Search for "the", "of", "a" and you likely have
      English. Search for "der", "die", "das", "ob", "einen", and you likely have
      German.

      It won't be easy...

          If I run the program intl.cpl, I can change the keyboard type.

          How is intl.cpl implemented?

          How can I write a C# program to determine when someone has run intl.cpl and
          changed the keyboard langauge?
          Thanks,

              I found it: I need to intercept WM_SETTINGSCHAN GE. There is a sample program
              in .NET Internationaliz ation by Smith-Ferrier.

              Now I have another question: how can I change to a DVORAK keyboard and
              detect that change?

              Thanks

                  Letter frequencies can also help.

                      So you are not looking to detect what language the text written
                      is in but just detect the windows language setting ?
