Use proper locale

[fyr77]

The drivers support multiple download locations and locales. Detecting them and using the correct download would be nice.

Supported languages:

• English (US)
• English (UK)
• English (India)
• Chinese (Simplified)
• Chinese (Traditional)
• Japanese
• Korean
• German Deutsch

Instead of mapping all windows locales to the ones provided by nvidia, it may be easier to perform a ping test in the background to figure out which download server to use. The downloaded driver package does not seem to differ based on region.

The download servers I could find are, in order of the countries listed above:

download page	download server
https://www.nvidia.com/Download/	https://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/
https://www.nvidia.co.uk/download/	https://uk.download.nvidia.com/Windows/
https://www.nvidia.in/Download/	https://in.download.nvidia.com/Windows/
https://www.nvidia.cn/download/	https://cn.download.nvidia.com/Windows/
https://www.nvidia.com.tw/download/	https://tw.download.nvidia.com/Windows/
https://www.nvidia.co.jp/download/	https://jp.download.nvidia.com/Windows/
https://www.nvidia.co.kr/download/	https://kr.download.nvidia.com/Windows/
https://www.nvidia.de/download/	https://de.download.nvidia.com/Windows/
https://www.nvidia.es/download/	https://es.download.nvidia.com/Windows/
https://la.nvidia.com/download/	https://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/
https://www.nvidia.fr/download/	https://fr.download.nvidia.com/Windows/
https://www.nvidia.it/download/	https://it.download.nvidia.com/Windows/
https://www.nvidia.pl/download/	https://pl.download.nvidia.com/Windows/
https://www.nvidia.com.br/download/	https://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/
https://www.nvidia.ru/download/	https://ru.download.nvidia.com/Windows/
https://www.nvidia.com.tr/download/	https://tr.download.nvidia.com/Windows/
https://www.nvidia.com/download/	https://uk.download.nvidia.com/Windows/

What I can see here is:

• US, Latin America and Brazil use the same download server (US).
• UK and Other use the same download server (UK). Does Other depend on system locale?

Nevermind, all download servers redirect to a CDN. This means the only reason to use the correct download pages is for user convenience. Download speeds and files are identical.

I am closing this for now. The work required is not worth the result, especially since it will become completely obsolete as soon as #14 is implemented.
