SUMMARY
=======

When changing the language setting in the International dialog box of the
Control Panel, the change is not reflected in the [intl] section of the WIN.INI.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The purpose of this setting is to specify the language you want to work in.
Windows applications that provide language-specific tasks, such as sorting or
spell-checking, use this setting. Following are the standard values:

  Value         Language
  -----         --------
  dan           Danish
  dut           Dutch
  eng           International English
  fcf           French Canadian
  fin           Finnish
  frn           French
  ger           German
  ice           Icelandic
  itn           Italian
  nor           Norwegian
  por           Portuguese
  spa           Spanish
  usa           U.S. English

To reflect the change made in the Control Panel, add the following line to the
[intl] section of the WIN.INI file:

  sLanguage=<string>

where string is the value for the specified language. For example, for Dutch you
would insert the following line:

  sLanguage=dut

This information does not apply to the Microsoft Windows operating system version
3.1.
