 I didn't find a function that returns all the available locale informations, I think because under .NET, they are all avaiable.

 To obtain informations on a specific locale, it suffices to create an instance of CULTURE_INFO. There are basically two ways to do this:
-# Create it with the culture identifier. This identifier maps every culture/language to an integer. It is not very usefull, because I did not find a logic behind the mapping function... You can find a table on [1]

 # Create it with the name (STRING) of the culture. The culture names follow the RFC 1766 standard in the format "<languagecode2>-<country/regioncode2>", where <languagecode2> is a lowercase two-letter code derived from ISO 639-1 and <country/regioncode2> is an uppercase two-letter code derived from ISO 3166.
