request.getLocale getDisplayName Not Changing

Hi I have created a portal component with:

<%
IPortalComponentRequest currentRequest =(IPortalComponentRequest)pageContext.getAttribute(javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext.REQUEST); 
Locale l = request.getLocale();
%>

to get the Locale and <%= l.getDisplayName() %> to get the Language Name displayed.

If I login with English it shows English (United States), but In Personalize if I change to German, it still shows English (United States)

What could be wrong?
