Not sure what your execution environment is, but if you can run it
from under PowerShell, seems possible that a simple PowerShell script
might do the trick, using the right Get-... / Set-... cmdlets as
documented here:

  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/international/

Bullet-proofing this so that you don't leave the wrong setting in
place if "net use" etc. blow up is a further requirement for real
deployment.

I don't know enough Windows jargon to figure out _which_ pair will
affect the output from "net use" etc., but someone else may be able to
shed light on that question.
