Remarks

The /lcid MIDL compiler option lets you use international characters in your input files, file names, and directory paths. Within the input files, you can use localized comments, strings, helpstrings and identifiers. In particular, the /lcid switch provides full DBCS support, to represent Far Eastern languages such as Japanese, Chinese and Korean. For more information on National Language Support (NLS) see Locales and Double-byte Character Sets in the International Features section of the Windows Base Services online documentation.

Note  The /lcid switch is available with MIDL version 3.01.75 and later.
