Locale in method Calendal.getInstance(Locale aLocale)

What is the role of Locale in the method specified in question title? How does it affect any results? I am trying the following two lines of code:

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.println(cal.getTime().toString());

I receive the same result even if I try it with the parameter Locale.GERMANY or Locale.ITALY. When does it affect actually the result?

Well, I'm going with Locale.GERMANY and Locale.ITALY having the same time.

Try comparing Locale.CANADA with Locale.GERMANY

It will be useful when you do calls like first day of week etc., when you do getTime() you may not see any difference.

As per javadoc

Calendar defines a locale-specific seven day week using two parameters: the first day of the week and the minimal days in first week (from 1 to 7). These numbers are taken from the locale resource data when a Calendar is constructed.
