it's showing that because you haven't changed the locale for that request.

pre cf7:
<cfscript>
locale=createObject("java","java.util.Locale").init("es","ES");
localizedName=locale.getDisplayName(locale);
writeoutput("#localizedName#");
</cfscript>
pre-cf7, using core java buys you a LOT more locales. post-cf7 you get all the
core java locales AND the nice java style locale id: "es_ES" instead of the
goofy & verbose "Spanish (Standard)" (bluedragon still uses that style) in cf.
that said, icu4j gets you even more locales & i18n functionality. further, a
locale by locale comparison of core java (and hence cf) with the common locale
data repository (CLDR) used by icu4j shows gobs & gobs of bad locale data
(mostly formatting) in core java.
