Package description
The 'lcid' npm package is used to map between standard locale identifiers and Windows locale identifiers (LCID). This is particularly useful when working with various Windows API that require LCID, or when integrating with systems that use Windows locale settings.
Mapping from locale to LCID
This feature allows you to convert a standard locale string to its corresponding Windows LCID. Useful for applications that need to interface with Windows APIs expecting locale identifiers in LCID format.
const lcid = require('lcid');
console.log(lcid.from('en_US')); // Outputs: 1033Mapping from LCID to locale
This feature enables the conversion from a Windows LCID back to a standard locale string. It's beneficial when you receive LCID from Windows systems and need to use standard locale formats in your application.
const lcid = require('lcid');
console.log(lcid.to(1033)); // Outputs: 'en_US'Similar to 'lcid', 'windows-locale' provides mappings between Windows locale identifiers and IETF language tags (which are similar to standard locale strings). However, it offers a broader range of mappings and additional metadata about the locales.
While 'locale-code' does not directly map LCIDs, it provides tools to convert between different locale formats (e.g., ISO, IETF). It's useful for applications that need to handle various types of locale identifiers but does not specifically target Windows LCID.
