How to get the Current Locale in GWT using LocaleInfo

Question

It's almost impossible to accurately get the locale of the user in JavaScript so GWT doesn't even try [1].
LocaleInfo returns information about the locale selected among the ones you compiled in your app; that is, one of the locales you added using in your *.gwt.xml.

See https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideI18nLocale

[1] well, in recent versions it does try (using the browser's compile-time locale), but only to select one of the compiled-in locales, so that doesn't change anything to the behavior of LocaleInfo.
