Windows OS uses the same primary language id (26, 0x1a) for all Serbo-Croatian languages. This will cause some trouble if you select a country neutral language (e.g. hr vs hr-HR) and your application uses Windows language id instead of IETF language tags. In that case hr, bs, and sr map to the same Windows language id: 26. To avoid this, always use country specific languages such as hr-HR, bs-BA, and sr-RS.
