Each user login session has an associated instance of java.util.Locale (available to the application as a component named locale). In order to set the locale manually via the application user interface, you should change the following properties of the localeSelector component: language, country, variant.

The current locale for the Flex application can be set during the compilation process with the help of the compiler option, for example "-locale en_US":

See "mx.resources.Locale" for more details.

The code sample below shows how the current client locale can be received and then set to use in Seam:

<mx:Script>

    <![CDATA[

        import mx.resources.Locale;



        private function setLocale():void

        {

            var l:Locale = Locale.getCurrent(Application.application.systemManager);

            localeSelectorService.setLanguage(l.language);

        }

    ]]>

</mx:Script>

<mx:RemoteObject id="localeSelectorService" destination="localeSelector">

    <mx:method name="setLanguage" />

</mx:RemoteObject>
