Look at the function LANGUAGE_DefaultHandle in
language.c and where it is called from.

Sylvain noticed that the selection does not persist
and is fixing the bug.

Hmm, I do not know why this functionality exists in
the WineNotepad in the first place - maybe to test the
languages selection functionality?

Windows application can get information about the
current language with using functions
GetUserDefaultLangID, GetLocaleInfo.

Then, what is the correct approach will be? Set the
default language based on system settings?
We can leave the language menu for now for testing
purposes.
