I have found a serious problem with the Visual Studio 2005 Professional resource editor. I am based in the UK (this is crucial), and when I add a new resource to an MFC project, it is assigned the English (United Kingdom) language by default. Unfortunately, the following line is added to the .rc file, which will not compile:
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_NEUTRAL
The resource compiler will produce the following:
error RC2147 : SUBLANGUAGE ID not a number
It *should* be using SUBLANG_ENGLISH_UK instead.
If I add a new resource and then attempt to change the language to English (US), then it fails and the error persists. This means that every time I add a new resource, I am forced to edit the .rc file by hand in order for it to compile, which is very time-consuming and prone to error.
Does anyone have a workaround for this I guess I could define
SUBLANG_ENGLISH_NEUTRAL as SUBLANG_ENGLISH_UK somewhere. Note also that SUBLANG_ENGLISH_NEUTRAL is nowhere to be found in the Visual C++ headers.

BTW, I installed apploc.msi on my computer to support Unicode. And than I found when I create a Dialog, its Language property will be Chinese (PRC) but I wish it want it to be English (United States), so I change it to what I want it to be. Then the error happened as what the first floor described.

http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/viewfeedback.aspx feedbackid=3b49aa31-fa2b-419e-927a-0b16ccc0e18b
the people at Microsoft claim it's not reproduceable in builds after Beta 2. Which build are you running

Thanks in advance for taking the time to log the issue!
Thanks, Ayman Shoukry VC++ TeamMartin_TeroSolutions
That's fine - both really apply - since the other one is a superset of the bug you found (and the other one some parts of it have already been fixed, except for the part about it using the wrong symbol - should be SUBLANG_NEUTRAL)
