Erwin:

Not to be obtuse, but are you sure that you are iterating through the
array of locales returned by Locale.getAvailableLocales()?  If the VM
you are running in thinks it is US it'll float that locale to the top of
the list of locales (this is from memory) and then have the other 50 or
so choices follow in alpha order.

I don't know if it is even possible, but if only one locale is there
then your OS only knows about that locale or maybe you have downloaded a
"English only" JRE.

You aren't running on a Sun box, by any chance?  On that box the lang
and country info comes from system variables that, in a default install,
aren't set correctly.  That usually affects only the "default" locale,
though, and you are free to create your own locale objects and your own
NumberFormat objects for a specific locale.
