locale is set in Typoscript, there is no equivalent setting for backend, 
I think setting a language does not automatically set the locale for 
that language (especially as there could be more than one possible 
locale) in backend. So I guess there is simply no locale set. If you 
need this in a module of yours, you could configure the locale as 
TSconfig setting for your mod and use that, but that would be per user 
or group, not per language.
