public static synchronized Locale getDefault()
Description
Common method of getting the current default Locale.
Used for the presentation: menus, dialogs, etc.
Generally set once when your applet or application is initialized,
then never reset. (If you do reset the default locale, you
probably want to reload your GUI, so that the change is reflected
in your interface.)
More advanced programs will allow users to use different locales
for different fields, e.g. in a spreadsheet.
Note that the initial setting will match the host system.
