Hello,

I have a script that should run in different ways depending on the currently-active language. So if the active language is English, it should behave one way, but if it's Hebrew, it should behave in a different way.

Is it possible to detect the language using AHK?


Thanks,
Ram.

Something like this ? However it's the system language and not the keyboard layout, a lot of Windows are in english but have an other language in reality...

msgbox % A_Language ; XX09=english , XX0D=hebrew

Ah, I guess I meant the keyboard layout. I meant the one that you can change by clicking Alt-Shift.

Maybe they are other method or language feature to get... But try this

#NoEnv
; XX09=english , XX0D=hebrew
; http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa912040 or "Language Codes" of autohotkey.chm

F5::
; method 1
SetFormat, Integer, H
msgbox % DllCall("GetKeyboardLayout", Int,DllCall("GetWindowThreadProcessId", int,WinActive("A"), Int,0))
SetFormat, Integer, D

; method 2
VarSetCapacity(kbd, 9)
if DllCall("GetKeyboardLayoutName", uint, &kbd)
  msgbox % kbd
Return
