Doug,

After some digging around on my hard drive, I found some stuff that I've used in the past that should work for you. Try this

DECLARE INTEGER GetUserDefaultLCID IN Win32API
DECLARE INTEGER GetLocaleInfo IN Win32API;
  INTEGER Locale, INTEGER LCType,;
  STRING @lpLCData, INTEGER cchData
#define LOCALE_IMEASURE 0x0000000D
lnUserLCID = GetUserDefaultLCID()
lcbuffer = SPACE(4)
lnresult = GetLocaleInfo(lnSysLCID, LOCALE_IMEASURE, @lcbuffer, LEN(lcbuffer))
? LEFT(lcbuffer, 1)

This should take the language aspect out of the equation.
