Hi all,
I am trying to build an rc file containing a German stringtable
and a default string table for all other language settings. The 
problem is it doesn't work. I have tried two tables

  LANGUAGE LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_DEFAULT    and
  LANGUAGE LANG_GERMAN, SUBLANG_NEUTRAL

but whatever language setting I do in Windows, I always get the
German texts.

I replaced LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_DEFAULT by LANG_NEUTRAL,
SUBLANG_NEUTRAL, but this gives me the default texts always, even
if my Windows setting is German.

As far as I know, LoadString tries to find an exact match first
(like GERMAN,GERMAN). If it fails it looks for the country 
independent stringtable (GERMAN,NEUTRAL). And if that fails, it
looks for a default table (NEUTRAL,DEFAULT? or should that be
NEUTRAL,NEUTRAL? Both makes sense, neither works).

Where is my problem? Damaged Windows? Damaged brain?
