Implementation of function that parses names of locales is flawed. You have 3 options here: 1. To fix RTL and than to recompile it. It is possible provided that you have Prof. or Ent. version. 2. To write your own functions using straight windows API. 3. To use BOOST To fix RTL take a look at <bcb folder>\source\rtl\locale . The file in question is locale.c and the flawed function is LCID _getLocale(LPWIN32LOCALE _locale, LPSTR LocaleName) There may be even other problems with this implementation. I stopped looking once I saw the mess inside. Darko
