+ * @name ConSetThreadUILanguage
+ *     Sets the current thread's user interface language.
+ *     Mostly used by console applications for selecting a
+ *     language identifier that best supports the NT Console.
+ *     This function dynamically loads and calls kernel32!SetThreadUILanguage()
+ *     so as to be able to work on older environments where this
+ *     API is not supported.
+ *     The FormatMessage() API also bases itself on the thread's
+ *     current language for its default behaviour (unless an explicit
+ *     language identifier has been provided).
+ *
+ * @param[in,opt]   LangId
+ *     (Vista+) A non-zero language identifier that specifies the
+ *     current thread's user interface language to set.
+ *     (XP/2003) Set the language identifier to 0 for selecting a
+ *     language identifier that best supports the NT Console.
+ *
+ * @return
+ *     Returns LangId in case of success, or 0 in case of failure.
+ *     If LangId was set to 0, the function always succeeds and returns
+ *     the language identifier that best supports the NT Console.
+ *
+ * @remark
+ *     This function is thread-safe.
