You may want to try jsTimezoneDetect to detect timezone on the client side and send to the server.

UPDATE: to get a user's Locale, you can try the following:

HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();
Locale locale = request.getLocale();

Returns an Enumeration of Locale objects indicating, in decreasing order starting with the preferred locale, the locales that are acceptable to the client based on the Accept-Language header. If the client request doesn't provide an Accept-Language header, this method returns an Enumeration containing one Locale, the default locale for the server.
