There is no 'real' system language anymore. Stuff like code pages is only used for applications which do not support UNICODE, and since windows is complete UNICODE, this means only legacy applications (and console applications). the following table[^] summarizes the various options quite nicely, and tells you which API to use to get at them.

That's correct, the setting doesn't translate the strings. Do you have a Japanese version of Windows? What are you trying to achieve?
