	To obtain the current locale:		The easiest and way to obtain the current locale is to use the following Eiffel code:

	a_culture_info : CULTURE_INFO		<code>[eiffel,N]
	a_culture_info.current_culture.name : SYSTEM_STRING		environement : EXECUTION_ENVIRONMENT
	:returns the name of the current culture info, (in the format described below).		...
			environement.get ("LANGUAGE")
			-- returns the (rank)list (as string) of languages set by the user
			</code>

			an other method is:
			<code>[eiffel,N]
			a_culture_info : CULTURE_INFO
			a_culture_info.current_culture.name : SYSTEM_STRING
			-- returns the name of the current culture info, (in the format described below).
