public string GetDefaultLanguage()
{
  // I just create a new thread. This gets the language of the operating system (even if the running thread
  // has been set with another language later on)
  System.Threading.Thread temp = new System.Threading.Thread(new System.Threading.ThreadStart(DummyMethod));

}
