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 cmd: reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload"

this produces:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload
    2    REG_SZ    00000419
    1    REG_SZ    00000809

like the first answer you then parse the rightmost numbers using this or this site

if the left most number is number 1 that is the current keyboard language in use currently.
