Unfortunately, that's the contrary. Gettext does report the (default) 
language in use. On Windows, it happens to use the regional settings 
for its guesswork, while on platforms with a decent C run-time library 
(locale-wise), it works fine, i.e. uses the configured "message" 
locale, independant of the monetary symbol, decimal separator, 
date/time format, etc. That's why I'm arguing that if you find this 
behavior inconsistent, you should fix GNU gettext, rather than VLC.
