System locale in Windows determines the default way in which letters,numbers,fonts and symbols are used for input and showing information in non Unicode programs.
To check which is the default language for Windows locale,we can either use the long way or the short and cooler way.
The long way :
1.Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel
2.Select Regional and Language Options
3.Click on the Administrative tab
There it can be seen which is the default language for non-Unicode programs.
Now the short and cooler way :
1.Open PowerShell (Start > Run >powershell)
[PowerShell comes by default with Windows 7,if you are using Windows other than 7,download it from here. It has many many cool uses.]
2.Type Get-Culture
There you go – it displays the same info regarding which language is used as default in locale.
Quick isn’t it?
Cheers.
