LocaleProvider (Eclipse Platform API Specification)

```
public interface LocaleProvider
```
A service that is used to determine what the current locale is for a particular context or session. If no LocaleProvider service is available then the locale must be determined by other means, for example, by calling Locale.getDefault().
More advanced environments can support multiple locales within a single system. For example, a server may support multiple users, each needing a different locale. In such an environment a LocaleProvider service must be registered that can determine the current locale for the context of the call to the getLocale() method.
