Locale has more information than just the language. For example: en_US is English in USA; en_UK is English in the UK, it_IT is Italian in Italy, but it_CH is Italian in Switzerland. Your example would differentiate between pt_PT (Portuguese in Portugal) and pt_BR (Portuguese in Brazil). Check out Locale.getCountry(). This being said, it is still not the same as the physical location. Do you really need the country of residence for some statistics / whatever, or the language / regional settings for localization? In the former case, Locale won't help; in the latter, the physical location is probably not the right way to go, Locale is. For example, I'm Polish but live in Germany, and I would like your application display Polish strings (or English).
