We are working on a USB driver. I would like to know if we can create certain registry keys through INF based on OS language during installation. If this is not possible can we at-least detect language during driver loading sequence and create the entries from there. This is a KMDF based driver.
Take a look at

spx You can use this to have the strings localized. Then use the AddReg to
do the right thing. The one limitation is you cannot create the key for
some languages and not others.

Just to add to my question i do know that we have the Locale specific INF covered under http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff540208(v=vs.85).aspx but I’m looking more on creating keys for driver configuration rather than just strings.
Hi Don thanks for your response. But that’s exactly what im looking for 
i want to create registry entry for a specific language and not for others.

So create locale specific strings, and use them as macros to substitute
in your registry values.
