LCID is a Windows-specific concept, right?  If that's the case, you could use the Win32 API directly (GetThreadLocale(), GetUserDefaultLCID(), etc.)

To my knowledge, there is nothing for this in Boost. If you're looking for something portable, you may look at the ICU library. IMHO, it's interface style leaves much to be desired, but the array of functionality is impressive and useful.
