Description
Steps to reproduce
Install Powershell Core (latest build) on a machine whose UI Culture is set to something other than en-US... In my case it's en-GB.
Run Update-Help from an administrator command prompt. Then try getting help on a basic command like help Update-Help -full. It will tell you that the help files aren't installed.
Expected behavior
Help files should be installed.
Actual behavior
Help files don't get installed.
Environment data

PSVersion 6.0.1
PSEdition Core

PSCompatibleVersions {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0...}
PSRemotingProtocolVersion 2.3
SerializationVersion 1.1.0.1
WSManStackVersion 3.0I have worked around this by doing Update-Help -UICulture en-US, but I shouldn't have to do this. This command worked fine in Windows PowerShell.
One of the most amazing things about PowerShell is the rich help system. But if it doesn't work for a huge amount of users (anyone not in the US) then what's the point?
