Powershell command to get all the Language Packs installed on a server running windows server 2012

How do I find all the language packs that are installed on my server (windows server 2012) through powershell command? I like to identify(through script) if any of the languages that are required by my services are not installed and then run DISM to add missing language packages.

Added Trim(), required for contains/ notcontains

$languagePacks = (dism /online /Get-Intl)  | 
   ?{ $_.Contains("Installed language(s):") } | 
    %{ $_.Split(":")[1].Trim() } 

if( $languagePacks -contains $language) {
  Write-host 'installed'
}

You can parse DISM output:

$LangPacks = DISM.exe /Online /Get-Intl /English |
    Select-String -SimpleMatch 'Installed language(s)'|
        ForEach-Object {
            if($_ -match ':\s*(.*)'){$Matches[1]}
        }

if($LangPacks -notcontains 'ru-Ru'){
    Write-Host 'Language pack not installed!'
}

You should be able to see this by querying WMI, the MUILanguages property in Win32_OperatingSystem I believe shows the installed languages:

$OSInfo = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem
$languagePacks = $OSInfo.MUILanguages
$languagePacks

(dism /online /Get-Intl)  | 
    ?{ $_.Contains("Installed language(s):") } | 
    %{ $_.Split(":")[1] }
