I don't know how Windows handles it, I do know how ReactOS handles it though. Check
reactos/dll/ntdll/rtl/libsupp.c function find_entry. It searches the resources using a
number of languages:

1. Specified (by caller) language/sublanguage
2. Specified (by caller) language/neutral sublanguage
3. Neutral language/neutral sublanguage
4. Current thread locale language
5. User locale language
6. User locale language with neutral sublanguage
7. System locale language
8. System locale language with neutral sublanguage
9. English.

So in the end, ReactOS WILL find the English resource. If not, it's a bug. As Martin
pointed out, the only exception is with string resources.
