Have you tried the ProductLanguage property?

run a verbose log to see what it gets set to.

This is a great question and I hope someone has a better way to access this, cause I'd like to know.

Can you create a variable in each localization file, like a variable called thisCultureCode, and then reference it with !(loc.thisCultureCode)?

If that works, it's a crappy workaround, but it might work.
