- - ### Method Detail

    - #### getLocale

          Locale getLocale()

      Returns the locale of the implemented service. Some implementations may return `null` if no locale is explicitly defined. The meaning of null locale is implementation-dependent, but typical interpretations are:
      - A synonymous of the system default locale.
      - A synonymous of `Locale​.ROOT` for an "unlocalized" service. For example the service may format numbers using `Double​.toString(double)` instead than `NumberFormat`.
      Implementations are encouraged to return a non-null value in every cases. Nevertheless client codes should be prepared to receive null values.
      Returns:
        the locale, or `null` if not explicitly defined.
