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

In Windows 10 1903, the current user's language setting seems to be found in "HKCU\Control Panel\International\LocaleName"

Answer 2

The below code fixed my issue. It works on Windows Server 2003 and Windows 7

FOR /F "tokens=3 delims= " %%G in ('reg query "hklm\system\controlset001\control\nls\language" /v Installlanguage') DO (
IF [%%G] EQU [0409] (
  ECHO English install language detected
) ELSE (
  ECHO Some other language detected
)

Hope it helps!
