  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * when calling WL. App. getDeviceLocale () user was always     *
  * getting en_US                                                *
  * WL. getDeviceLanguage() returned only the language letters   *
  * and not the full name                                        *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *

Problem conclusion

• the WL. App.getDeviceLocale()will return the full language +
  country pattern like in 6.2
  getDeviceLanguage will continue the return only the language
  letters (any one needs more then that should use getDeviceLocal)
  
  this behaviour already applied in 6.2
  

Temporary fix
