How to check if custom culture exists - powershell

Question

I have created one custom culture as 'gh-es'. I am trying to check if its already registered.its working fine if culture is registered but if not it throw an error in start only.
I am unable to find how to check if a culture is present or to check if its exists
$CustomCulture= [cultureinfo]::GetCultureInfo('gh-es')
If($CustomCulture -ne null)
{
Write-output "culture already registered"
}
Else
{
$CultureName = 'gh-es'
$BaseCulture=[cultureinfo]::GetCultureInfo('es-US')
$BaseRegion = New-Object System.Globalization.RegionInfo 'es-US'
try {
# Set up CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder
Add-Type -AssemblyName sysglobl
$CultureBuilder = New-Object System.Globalization.CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder
#($CultureName,[System.Globalization.CultureAndRegionModifiers]::None) $CultureBuilder.LoadDataFromCultureInfo($BaseCulture)
$CultureBuilder.LoadDataFromRegionInfo($BaseRegion)
$CultureBuilder.Register()
}
catch
{
throw
}
}

Answer 1

this is what i mean by using try/catch to handle an error when checking for a culture ...
try {
[cultureinfo]::GetCultureInfo('666-santa')
}
catch
{
'something glitched'
}
the output = something glitched
without the try/catch, the output is an error msg ...
Exception calling "GetCultureInfo" with "1" argument(s): "Culture is not supported.
Parameter name: name
666-santa is an invalid culture identifier."
