Since you didn't answer my questions, I assume you didn't understand
them. I will try in other words:

When you start lazarus you will see, that all text, captions and menu
items are in English. Lazarus has many translations including German,
Finnish, Chines and many more, but no Thai. No one has yet sent us a
translation for Thai. You can set the language in the menu
under Environment / Options.

A related topic is how to get the right date and time format in your
programs for functions like DateToStr, which converts a date to a
string. Your programs can use the clocale unit to automatically use the
right date format.
