This program prints the language codes for all available locales for Switzerland. It can easily be modified to e.g. return a List<String> of language codes. Picking the one you want is left as an exercise for the reader - the Swiss have not chosen to pick a single preferred language for their country.

import java.util.Locale;

public class Test {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Locale[] all = Locale.getAvailableLocales();
    for (Locale locale : all) {
      String country = locale.getCountry();
      if(country.equalsIgnoreCase("CH")){
        System.out.println(locale.getLanguage());
      }
    }
  }
}

Output:

fr
de
it

You can use following constructor of Locale - 

   Locale(String language, String country)

For USA (code: US) the language is English (code "en"). So you can do this - 

Locale locale = new Locale("en", "US");
