(i.e. en-US or en-UK, and not the locales en_US and en_UK)

As far as I can understand, en-US and en-UK are *always* locales; they mean "English as spoken in the United States" and "English as spoken in the United Kingdom" (note the geographical element which is typical of locales).


So: your best bet is looking at the NSLocale. [NSLocale currentLocale] returns the correct locale at all times.

If this is to retrieve strings, I am sorry to say the docs report OS X as capable of using an en_US.lproj and an en_UK.lproj, but I just tested a similar situation (it_IT and it_CH on an Italian-locale machine) and it doesn't work (it_IT is always chosen over it_CH even when Switzerland replaces Italy in the appropriate places of System Preferences).

But really, what is the nature of these things? Note that the system has standard ways to retrieve locale-dependent information such as date formatting and currency, if this is what you need.
