      https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winnls/nf-winnls-lcmapstringw has this note:

      Note For interoperability reasons, the application should prefer the LCMapStringEx function to LCMapString because Microsoft is migrating toward the use of locale names instead of locale identifiers for new locales. This recommendation applies especially to custom locales, including those created by Microsoft. Any application that will be run only on Windows Vista and later should use LCMapStringEx.

      I don't think we still support Windows Vista?
