Description

Ti.Locale issue

Ti.Locale is NOT working as expected after reading the doc.

Expected

currentLocale and getCurrentLocale() to work like language i.e. http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/latest/#!/api/Titanium.Locale-method-getCurrentLocale

Repro sequence

Ti.API.error("locale: " + Ti.Locale.currentLocale);
Ti.API.error("country: " + Ti.Locale.currentCountry);
Ti.API.error("language: " + Ti.Locale.currentLanguage);
Ti.API.error("locale: " + Ti.Locale.getCurrentLocale());
Ti.API.error("country: " + Ti.Locale.getCurrentCountry());
Ti.API.error("language: " + Ti.Locale.getCurrentLanguage());

returns

[ERROR] locale: undefined
[ERROR] country: undefined
[ERROR] language: fr
[ERROR] locale: fr-BE
[ERROR] country: BE
[ERROR] language: fr

yet another console output

[ERROR] :  locale: undefined
[ERROR] :  country: undefined
[ERROR] :  language: en
[ERROR] :  locale: en-US
[ERROR] :  country: US
[ERROR] :  language: en
I am not competent enough in objective-C and mobile SDK knowledge but the implementation of locale module here looks fishy to me (I would expect implementations for currentLocale and currentCountry). I tested w/ SDKs 1.8.2, 2.1.2.GA and 3.0.0.GA on Mac OSX for iOS.

    I have been working on a project for European Nordics markets and this method not working caused a lot of debugging and eventually having to concatenate my own version of this: 
       Countries.getCurrentLocale = function(){
       var lang, country, locale;
       lang = Ti.Locale.getCurrentLanguage();
       country = Ti.Locale.getCurrentCountry();
       locale = lang +"-"+ country;
       return locale;
   };
    It most certainly has a bug - Ti.Locale.getCurrentLocale will return *en-US* no matter what the language/region configuration of the device.

    PR: https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/6106 Added the two missing properties to the SDK that were referenced in the docs. Testing sample code after implementation
