In unmanaged C++ on windows, what you need is the Locale. Culture is a term defined in .NET, as a replacement for that term.

There's a whole host of functions, but the one where you need to start is called SetThreadLocale.

SetThreadLocale Function (Windows) @ MSDN

Within the documentation at MSDN, it appears that there are quirks in Vista. You may wish to consult the following function as well.

SetThreadUILanguage Function (Windows) @ MSDN

The other functions of interest are available here.

National Language Support Functions (Windows) @ MSDN
Multilingual User Interface Functions (Windows) @ MSDN

edit:

If you are developing an application with really basic support, setlocale() may also be of interest.
