It seems that in Windows 8, and possibly earlier it is impossible to run NVDA on a machine with the user language set to Serbian (Latin) (LCID 0x241a) where the NVDA language is 'Windows'. as this LCID does not exist in Python's locale.windows_locale. In fact a KeyError is raised and NVDA fails to initialize.
We should catch KeyError when looking up the LCID, and fallback to using LCIDToLocaleName if this function is available. Eventually we should consider using this before using locale.windows_locale, but this could be a breaking change so for now we should only fall back to it.
