Windows doesn't set these variables, and doesn't use the ISO 639
language codes or the ISO 3166 country codes.
You can retrieve the current user's locale from the registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\Locale
This will be a string (REG_SZ) value consisting of a hexadecimal
locale code. Or it can be retrieved (as an integer) via
GetUserDefaultLCID():
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd318135%28VS.85%29.aspx
A listing of the codes can be found at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd318693%28VS.85%29.aspx
Better still, a mapping from the Microsoft codes to Unix-style locale
names can be found in the windows_locale variable in Python's
locale.py.
In Python, you can call locale.getdefaultlocale(), which will return a
tuple of the LANG code and the Windows codepage, e.g.:
>>> import locale
>>> print locale.getdefaultlocale()
('en_GB', 'cp1252')
OTOH, trying to do this from within Init.bat is probably less than
ideal. The attached program (link with -lkernel32) queries the locale,
converts it to the Unix format and writes it to stdout.
