Once the language packs are installed in CRM:
1) In CRM, open Main menu > Click on Settings > Select Administration > Languages.

2) This would display all the languages installed in your Dynamic CRM along with the Language Code.

3) Based on the language code, look up for the culture name on the internet. You can use the following link: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms912047(v=winembedded.10).aspx
