#9120: system_error_category::message() produces non-english error messages in
ANSI encoding

     Type:  Bugs              |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  system
  Version:  Boost 1.54.0      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                    |
------------------------------+------------------------
 In the system_error_category::message(), the
 FormatMessageA(...,MAKELANGID(LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_DEFAULT),...) is used
 to create error messages. Unfortunately, this code can produce non-english
 error messages in the ANSI encoding.

 According to the http://www.boost.org/community/error_handling.html,

 "internationalization is beyond the scope of the exception class author".
 So, I think that it would be better to use MAKELANGID(LANG_ENGLISH,
 SUBLANG_DEFAULT) here.
