In Java, you can call Locale.getAvailableLocales() to get the list of available locales.

you normally need only locales that compatible with UTF-8 to use it in html

thus, the ResourceBundle is useless, but you still can call it like this

\ResourceBundle::getLocales('')

to be sure how useless it is.

So, you need to get a list of what supported by your Ubuntu (because Ubuntu is what you need)

    $string           = shell_exec("locale -a|grep .utf8");
    $array            = explode('.utf8' . "\n", $string);

you will get things like en_US, ru_RU, zh_CN - whatever you installed on your ubuntu. Now take one and use it like so

$locale  = $array[0].'.UTF-8';
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, $locale);

but you can install more locales on your Ubuntu
