Try to get the primary locale of the system

I am working on replacing an old plugin which uses deprecated API. In case the user did not set any preferences for his locale

UserProfileService.getUser(context).getLocale()

returns NULL. The old code is

if (locale == null) {
locale = AdministrationService.getSiteLocaleSettings().getPrimaryLocale();
}

Now the AdministrationService is deprecated. How do I get the system locale using current API calls? I did not find anything in the API docs.

Try to use ServiceContextFactory to get the administrator user or context and then use getLocale() method.

Hm ... this might work, but I would like to implement to most "official" way of doing that. The expression userlocale() can do it. But that does not help me in Java code.

I think you can use com.appiancorp.suiteapi.portal.GlobalizationService. It has the same method getSiteLocaleSettings(). This service is not yet deprecated.

There is no public API available that replaces the AdministrationService. I will raise a ticket to bring some awareness to it.
