locale - languages

• How to deal with Operating Systems and applications that change the language of their messages based on the locale of the system?

• This is not really a testing specific issue.

use strict;
use warnings;

use Test::More tests => 1;

use POSIX qw(locale_h);
my $locale = setlocale(LC_CTYPE);
diag $locale;

# OSX/English: en_US.UTF-8
# Windows:
# Hebrew_Israel.1255

my $ipconfig = 'Windows IP Configuration';
if ($locale eq 'German_Germany.1252') {
    $ipconfig = 'Windows-IP-Konfiguration';
}

    like( `ipconfig`, qr/$ipconfig/ );
