Hi, the locale utility currently gets the system default UI locale (-s option) via GetSystemDefaultUILanguage().
This is a problem on systems where the default UI language is changed after the Windows Out of Box Experience (OOBE), because that function will happily ignore the fact (see < https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winnls/nf-winnls-getsystemdefaultuilanguage >). FWIW, this is not just theoretical: on my work PC, which was set to Italian during the first setup (not by me), and is now set to US English, the locale utility shows: $ locale -s it_IT -- Gennaro -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
