I have known this, i mean where can i do this in code source level in detail. Because I don't know whether frontend can vary language according to locale.

Only the Qt frontend is able to do that. You might have a look at src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox/src/globals/VBoxGlobal.cpp function VBoxGlobal::systemLanguageId.
