Setting a Language Localization?

Share icon

Does a way exist to get a "language localization" value for a specific install of Igor Pro? I am looking intentionally at being able to query a specific (platform) value at the start of a procedure that would allow that procedure to use dialogs specific to a given language. For example ...

   strswitch(IgorInfo(10)):
         case "English":
             ....
         case "Deutsch":
             ....
   endswitch


Optimal would be when such a query could be done at compile time to allow menu strings to be set as appropriate string constants ...

#define $IgorInfo(10)
 
#ifdef English
...
#endif
#ifdef Deutsch
...
#endif
No.

All you can tell is if you are running a Japanese version of Igor using IgorInfo(3) if memory serves.
