Solution 1

There's not a specific command (or at least, not one that I'm aware of) to get this information, but you can find it between those provided by systeminfo.exe.

Solution 2

Get-UICulture or Get-Host in PowerShell

I'm a software engineer mostly working on backend from 2011. I have used various languages but has been mostly been writing Go code since 2014. In addition, I have been involved in lot of infra work and have experience with various public cloud platforms, Kubernetes, Terraform etc. For databases I have used lot of Postgres and MySQL but also Redis and other key value or document databases.

How can I get system locale in Windows 7?

I mean something like: cs_CZ.UTF-8

I tried writing "locale" in the command line but that doesn't work in Windows. Any suggestions?

When running systeminfo on a command line, a lot of information is output to the screen. The relevant information to look for is: System Locale: en-us;English (United States) Input Locale: en-us;English (United States)

systeminfo /FO csv | ConvertFrom-Csv | select *locale

@Ogrish Man : This seems to be a Powershell command, but it gives me no output. Maybe because the headers are not in English. systeminfo.exe by itself works, as does gWaldo's answer in PS
