  Returns the locale of the implemented service.

- ## Method Details

  - ### 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 of `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.
