Hollywood forums

I try to understand better how Hollywood Locale Library works.

What is the result of GetSystemLanguage() and GetSystemCountry() if it is different then the internally supported values?
0 ? A negative error number ? Nil ?

On non amigaoid platforms only the languages are supported, that are in this list:
https://www.hollywood-mal.com/docs/html ... guage.html

Is that correct ?

What is the situation on amigaoid platforms ? Does it internally simply pass the parameters to the appropiate locale.library functions ?
Thus:
Does it support also languages not contained in the internal Hollywood list ?
Does it take care of AmigaOS/MorphOS/AROS feature to have more than one system language (with different prioritiy of course) at the same time ?

You will get #LANGUAGE_UNKNOWN or #COUNTRY_UNKNOWN, respectively.

Yes.

On Amigaoids, the language is determined by examining loc_LanguageName of the default locale and the country is determined by the country code in loc_CountryCode of the default locale.

No. In case the loc_LanguageName can't be matched to any of those constants, you will get #LANGUAGE_UNKNOWN as the result.

No, that's currently not supported.
