    _______________________________________________________

Details:

A Windows user that has configured a different language and locale will get
translations based on the locale for gettext programs rather than the chosen
language. This is because gettext calls GetThreadLocale() instead of
GetUserDefaultUILanguage().

Patch attached for 0.19.3. Might not be entirely correct though as the
function is meant to get locale, not language. More restructuring might be
needed.

Note that for Win32 you also need to set WINVER to 0x0500 to get this API as
it was new for Windows 2000.
