How do I get current application locale?

I need to get current locale. Not user locale but my application locale.

Let's say my application has two localizations (in project settings): English (default) and French. If user sets French language on iPhone then my application will display French interface. If user sets German language on iPhone then my application will display English interface (because English is default).

So how do I get current application locale that is showing right now? Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • The selected answer returns the current device language, but not the actual language used in the app. If you don't provide a localization for the preferred language in your app:

    NSString *language = NSBundle.mainBundle.preferredLocalizations.firstObject;

NSLocale *locale = NSLocale.currentLocale;
NSString *countryCode = [locale objectForKey:NSLocaleCountryCode];

NSLocale *usLocale = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_US"];
NSString *country = [usLocale displayNameForKey:NSLocaleCountryCode 
                                          value:countryCode];

NSLog(@"country: %@", country);
