The choice has been made to use the [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-lcid/70feba9f-294e-491e-b6eb-56532684c37f Windows Language Code Identifier (LCID) Reference] (you will find the codes in this [https://winprotocoldoc.blob.core.windows.net/productionwindowsarchives/MS-LCID/%5bMS-LCID%5d.pdf pdf document]) with only the five position codes as valid.

The ''current gauges languages'' defined and accepted are:
EN, FR, DE, NL, SE, DA, FI, NN, NB, IT, ES, CT, GR, PT, CS, PL
 
(so if you use a Swahili sub dialect in CUtils, it will not be present in default for the gauges which will then use en-GB)
