In TableViewSkinBase the texts are static and can therefore not be changed anymore:

127     private static final String EMPTY_TABLE_TEXT = ControlResources.getString("TableView.noContent");
128    private static final String NO_COLUMNS_TEXT = ControlResources.getString("TableView.noColumns");

======================================================

import java.util.Locale;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.TableView;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class RunTest extends Application {

	@Override
	public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
		Locale.setDefault(Locale.GERMANY);
		TableView<String> tableView1 = new TableView<>();
		tableView1.setId("tableView1");
		Scene scene = new Scene(tableView1);
		primaryStage.setScene(scene);
		primaryStage.show();

		Locale.setDefault(Locale.US);
		TableView<String> tableView2 = new TableView<>();
		tableView2.setId("tableView2");
		scene.setRoot(tableView2);
	}

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		launch(args);
	}

}

Also applied the same fix to ListViewSkin, ProgressIndicatorSkin, and TableHeaderRow. Changeset: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/9-dev/rt/rev/f4c4d2980d68

The strings should not be static, but initialized by constructor. Note that JavaFX does not support changing locale after instances are created, so apps need to recreate the GUI after changing the default locale.
