iOS: How to Get the Device Current Language Setting?

Question

There are some features within my application that are supposed to be based on the language settings of the device where it\'s running.

I want to get the actual language

Answer 1

User preferred languages are stored can be retrieved from locale as array and current language identifier is the first object in that array:

NSString *currentLanguage = [[NSLocale preferredLanguages] objectAtIndex:0];

If you want language in more readable form then use displayNameForKey:value: method of NSLocale:

NSString *langID = [[NSLocale preferredLanguages] objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *lang = [[NSLocale currentLocale] displayNameForKey:NSLocaleLanguageCode value:langID];
