We can find system locale using systeminfo command as shown below.
systeminfo | findstr /B /C:”System Locale”
Example:
C:\>systeminfo | findstr /B /C:”System Locale”
System Locale: en-us;English (United States)

Do not use findstr.
you can use C:\>systeminfo | find /i “System Locale” and it should give you correct input.
This command worked.thanx
Great! how do we get this output into a variable?
Hi,
Beware, it occurred to me that this value was wrong in some situations.
A better way to retrieve System Locale is by
1) open Windows Powershell
2) run command
>Get-WinSystemLocale

I have a problem. In my system I have set system locale to simplified chinese china, but After Entering this command it is showing “4009”. While in other systems Locale is set to simplified chinese but there it is showing “Zh-cn:Chinese (China) (Which is correct). Why does my system shows output like this?
