Get-Help about * does not work on non-English system

I am using the German version of PS and I am trying to display powershell v themes. 3.0 using the command

Get-Help about_*

This seems to be the right command to list topics. I also updated the PS help using

 Update-Help

CMDlet, just in case that topics will be absent. In any case: the Get-Help cmdlet processes and returns: nothing. Using fl to format the output or save the output to a variable did not help; topics about it were not found at all. However, as a rule, a wildcard works. Performance

 get-help get-*

works like a charm. Any ideas?

update-help is not "localized", so use this: Update-Help -UICulture "en-us" you should see .txt files

here you can check the modified get-help function, which allows you to specify the culture used: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverpowershell/thread/6cb7fb10-f80e-41fc-bee7-6adda66f311a
