Here is what I do (maybe there is something better):
int country_no; char country_str[50];
country_no = (int)GetProfileInt("intl", "iCountry", 0);
if (country_no == 1)
strcpy(country_str, "English");
else if (country_no == 33)
strcpy(country_str, "French");
else if (country_no == 34)
strcpy(country_str, "Spanish");
EDIT :
I see sLanguage which might be more suitable to you purposes than iCountry. On my computer sLanguage is a string of three letters containing "fra", which can be retrieved with GetProfileString (instead of GetProfileInt)

Look at ::EnumSystemLanguageGroups() ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/intl/nls_7vn7.asp) it might help you :)
