Returns information about the culture (that is, the language and regional settings) used by the Communications Server Management Shell.

Syntax

Get-CsUICulture

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Verbose

Reports detailed activity to the screen as the cmdlet runs.

Detailed Description

Although Microsoft Communications Server is available in multiple languages, the software is not a true MUI (multilingual user interface) application. Among other things, this means that the user interface for the Communications Server Management Shell does not change languages any time you change the operating system language. For example, suppose you have installed the US English version of Microsoft Communications Server and are also running the Windows operating system under US English. If you change the operating system culture (that is, the language and regional settings) to Danish, the Communications Server Management Shell will not automatically follow suit; instead, the Management Shell user interface (including error messages and help text) will remain in US English. If you need to change the culture for the Management Shell, you must run the Set-CsUICulture cmdlet.

The Get-CsUICulture cmdlet provides a way for you to determine the culture currently being used in the Communications Server Management Shell.

Return Types

Get-CsUICulture returns instances of the System.Globalization.CultureInfo class.

Examples

-------------------------- Example 1 ------------------------

Copy Code
Get-CsUICulture

The command shown in Example 1 returns basic information about the culture currently in use by the Communications Server Management Shell.

-------------------------- Example 1 ------------------------

Copy Code
Get-CsUICulture | Select-Object *

The command shown in Example 2 returns complete information about the culture currently in use by the Communications Server Management Shell. (By default, Get-CsUICulture only returns value for three properties: LCID; Name; and DisplayName.) To perform this task Get-CsUICulture is called in order to return all the properties and properties values of the current culture. This information is then piped to the Select-Object cmdlet, which is instructed to display all these properties and values (as opposed to simply displaying the three default property values.) The asterisk wildcard character (*) tells Select-Object to display all the properties and values, including those that typically do not appear in the cmdlet output.
