Question

All my Windows operating Systems are set to use the UI Culture: German
With Update-Help or Save-Help you can download PowerShell help in different (any) language by use of the –UICulture parameter.
Update-Help –UICulture en-US
Because my Windows OS is set to use the German UI Culture and the Cmdlet Get-Help depends on it, I cannot access PowerShell help in a different Language (English) with Get-Help.
There is still no translated German PowerShell help and even if I have installed the en-US verbose Help files I cannot use it (easily)!
I made a suggestion on Microsoft Connect to add the –UICulture Parameter to the Get-Help Cmdlet, to make it possible to call Help in a different language then the Windows Ui Culture.
As a workaround until then you can use the  .NET Class [System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture to set the UI Culture and get Help in a different language.
Function Get-HelpUICulture {
param (
[String]$HelpSearchString,
[String]$UICulture
# remember the UICulture
$OldCulture = [System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture
trap
[System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = $OldCulture
# set thread to given UICulture
[System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = $UICulture
# call powershell help in given language
Get-Help $HelpSearchString -Full
# reset UICulture
[System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = $OldCulture
# Example: call PowerShell en-US help in verbose English:
Get-HelpUICulture -HelpSearchString Get-Command -UICulture ‘en-US’
