How can I get the actual culture name from an iPhone web app?
CLARIFIED: This is a JavaScript Web Application not a Native Object-C application.
I have a web application running on the iPhone that I need to globalize.
I've configured Settings->General->International->Region Format to "United Kingdon" and left Language as "English".
Upon inspection of the User Agent string I'm seeing the following:
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_0 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/532.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/8A293
I would expect to en-GB but I'm seeing en-us.
I've even tried restarting the iPhone and it remains en-us.

It would appear as if the iPhone browser does not look at the region being set by the settings on the device.
The user agent and navigator.language both return en-US and disregard any changes to the region by the user.

From what I understand, the language portion comes from set type of your iPhone's "Language" (e.g. menus and buttons in the user interface) and not the Region Format.

I believe you should use NSUserDefaults to get that information
