how to detect operating system language (locale) from java code

Question

What is the correct way of knowing operating system language (locale) from java code?

I have tried

Locale.getDefault()
System.getProperties(\"user.l         


        

Answer 1

What about

System.getProperty("user.country"); 
System.getProperty("user.language");

Returns in my case

user.country=DE

user.language=de

You easily can generate the locale from this information. Local is 'language'_'country' so in my case de_DE
