I've written some general purpose COM client code. I'd like to test my
support for locales. I tried to use Office XP. I installed Office's
support for multiple language's but when I call IDispatch::GetTypeInfo I
always get English type information no matter what Lcid I use.

Can anyone direct me to a commonly available class that includes support for
multiple locales?

Thanks a lot.
