There is nothing specifically for a path, yet, basically, along the same lines as you'd do this for other strings you are working with. See the discussions, examples, and answers below.
International Settings Cmdlets in Windows PowerShell

Forcing PowerShell errors output in English on localized systems
You can change the pipeline thread's CurrrentUICulture like so: [Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = 'fr-FR'; Get-Help Get-Process
I'm on an English system but before I executed the line above, I updated help like so: Update-Help -UICulture fr-FR
$ENUS="[Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = 'en-US'" then invoke-expression $ENUS; Get-Help Get-Process "invoke-expression $ENUS;" is little shorter if you need to run many commands
