Javascript culture is always en-us

Question

I'm not sure if I understand this code or I use it correctly, but I got the impression that on ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX I can run javascript, for example:

var c = Sys.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture

and this will give me the culture / language settings that the user specified in his browser during the visit. However, for me it always returns "en-US" no matter what language I choose in firefox or IE.

This server code is:

string[] languages = HttpContext.Current.Request.UserLanguages;

if (languages == null || languages.Length == 0)
   return null;

try
{
   string language = languages[0].ToLowerInvariant().Trim();
   return CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(language);
}
catch (ArgumentException)
{
    return null;
}

returns the language that I currently installed. But I need to do this clientide, because I need to parse the string in datetime and do some checks before I go back, and the string could be MM / DD / YYYY or DD / MM / YYYY or some other such thing.

What am I missing?
