note

The "English" setting is represented as "enUS". "enGB" probably never existed.

The classic's Hungarian fan translation had not changed the LCID. It runs as "enUS".

note

Warcraft 3 LCIDs can be found in config.ini inside the CASC/MPQ.

note

Although the Battle.net App lets you select Text and Spoken Languages separately, only the Text Language matters for Warcraft 3. Maybe "Spoken Language" wasn't implemented at all.

note

After changing the game's language settings in the Battle.net App, you must start the game once through the app for the locale setting to apply. Manually starting the "Warcraft III.exe" will not pick up the setting.

async

This function is asynchronous. The values it returns are not guaranteed to be the same for each player. If you attempt to use it in an synchronous manner it may cause a desync.
