Is there a way to detect if the user is running the AIR application under en_GB locale on Windows? Capabilities.language returns only "en" and Capabilities.languages[0] returns "en_US" :(

Unfortunately, no. But it will be something soon (sorry, can't tell you more now)!

Documentation: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/beta/reference/actionscript/3/flash/globalization/package-detail.htmlAnd in the download page, "Getting Started" step 9 gives a link to the swc to use for Flex Builder.

Now the globalization features are out in Flash Player 10.1 you can use them. Check out the documentation for them here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/globalization/package-detail.html
and more info here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_globalization_package.html#articlecontentAdobe_numberedheader
You can easily get the default local as a string like so:
new StringTools(LocaleID.DEFAULT).actualLocaleIDName; // returns en-GB if region is United Kingdom on OSX
