Fred/Ricardo, I'd like to have a more thorough conversation about this, but I do not think this thread is the right place to do so. As Ricardo pointed out, it's not an uncomplicated issue, particular since, as I've hinted at, we have to think about compatibility with older language names (English, AmericanEnglish, etc).
To answer Edwin's original question, I found that the correct default to set is "Locale". That should be enough to get the correct answer out of -currentLocale. The -systemLocale method always return the locale set by the system variables. You can see what that is by using the "locale" command in the terminal. Edwin, just run: defaults write NSGlobalDomain Locale nl_BE in a terminal. That should be all you need to do.
