Where does Microsoft set the Outlook UI language ID? I have English
United States Windows XP and German Outlook 2003 installed. I want the
code page id of Outlook German (which is 1031) instead of English United
States (which is 1033).

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\LanguageResources
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\LanguageResources

(replace 11 with 10 for Outlook XP and 9 for Outlook 2000).

The value I see under that registry path is "UILanguage" but that
doesn't get set to the language that Outlook is using (it's currently
set to 0).

Thanks,
Shawn
 
Try Outlook.Application.LanguageSettings.LanguagePreferredForEditing(iid)
which returns a Boolean. If you supply it with 1031 and it returns True then
German is being used. If you supply it with 1033 then it's US English and so
on.
