The getAvailableLocales returned en-GB locale. So the en-GB should be
available on this Samsung device and I can switch it through Settings.
In addition, if I choose the other locale on the 4.0.x devices through the
Settings, such as Deutsch. It is working perfectly as date shown
03.07.2012, so what is wrong with en-GB?

Thanks,

Edward
