    Messageboxes in other languages

    Shouldn't the code below make the buttons in the dialog box be displayed in english? Currently it (still) displays them in my native language - Swedish...

    Code:
    CONST WORD CURRENT_LANGUAGE = MAKELANGID(LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US);
    
    MessageBoxEx(Window, "File has not been saved!\nSave now?", "Message", MB_YESNOCANCEL | MB_ICONINFORMATION, CURRENT_LANGUAGE)

    So I guess the language part of the function isn't implemented yet?
