Nifty! Did not know that.
Maybe _anything_ (or at least German or English) is preferable to
Neutral.
Test (#1) if there were only 2 choices, Neutral or Chinese?
If French picks Chinese over Neutral, then??
I would think German and English would act the same as French in this
test.

Test (#2) if Neutral had SUBLANG_SYS_DEFAULT?
No, probably not, as that is German in your case and you're looking
for French.  But, if you had a French system, then it might match.
Hmmm...If Test#1 fails, then try it with this way against German to
see if it picks Chinese or SYS.

If test #2 works, then your app will pick the matching supplied
language, or the Neutral  if/onlyif  user==system language.
Otherwise, it looks like it picks the first non-neutral language.
So, for example, you could setup Chinese as your first (default)
language. (Well, maybe not Chinese, as that's likely wide char only.)
