How can I find the current Windows language from cmd?

Question

I would like to run a script for each language. I need a way to find which os language is being used, using batch files. Both on windows XP, and on Windows 7.

Answer 1

Use a command on cmd and search for english word(s) associate with your query.

Example: w32tm /query /peers >> somewhere.txt

#Peers: 1

Peer: ca.pool.ntp.org
State: Active
Time Remaining: 58.3260171s
Mode: 3 (Client)
Stratum: 3 (secondary reference - syncd by (S)NTP)
PeerPoll Interval: 17 (out of valid range)
HostPoll Interval: 10 (1024s)

The first line is always "peers" or "service not started", so if the user is on an other language than english the script will not find this word and the result can return 0.
