How To Change Localization Internally In Your iOS Application

Unfortunately, there’s no official way provided by Apple for this purpose. Let’s look at two methods for solve this problem.

Method 1

Apple provides a way to specify application specific language, by updating the “AppleLanguages” key in NSUserDefaults. For example:

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:@"fr" forKey:@"AppleLanguages"]; [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];

 

For working this method, you’ll have to set it before UIKit initialized.

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h> #import "AppDelegate.h"  int main(int argc, char * argv[]) {     @autoreleasepool {         [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:@"fr" forKey:@"AppleLanguages"];         [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];         return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class]));     } }

 

The problem of this method is that the app has to be relaunched to take effect.

Method 2

The solution is to swap the mainBundle of our application as soon as user changes their language preferences inside the app.

See the category for NSBundle.

Header:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>  @interface NSBundle (Language)  + (void)setLanguage:(NSString *)language;  @end

 

Implementation:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>  @interface NSBundle (Language)  + (void)setLanguage:(NSString *)language;  @end

Implementation:

#import "NSBundle+Language.h" #import <objc/runtime.h>  static const char kBundleKey = 0;  @interface BundleEx : NSBundle  @end  @implementation BundleEx  - (NSString *)localizedStringForKey:(NSString *)key value:(NSString *)value table:(NSString *)tableName {     NSBundle *bundle = objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &kBundleKey);     if (bundle) {         return [bundle localizedStringForKey:key value:value table:tableName];     }     else {         return [super localizedStringForKey:key value:value table:tableName];     } }  @end  @implementation NSBundle (Language)  + (void)setLanguage:(NSString *)language {     static dispatch_once_t onceToken;     dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{         object_setClass([NSBundle mainBundle],[BundleEx class]);     });     id value = language ? [NSBundle bundleWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:language ofType:@"lproj"]] : nil;     objc_setAssociatedObject([NSBundle mainBundle], &kBundleKey, value, OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC); }  @end

 

In this method a problem that may arise is updating elements on active screens. You can reload your rootViewController from our application delegate, will always work reliably.

- (void)reloadRootViewController {     AppDelegate *delegate = [UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate;     NSString *storyboardName = @"Main";     UIStoryboard *storybaord = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:storyboardName bundle:nil];     delegate.window.rootViewController = [storybaord instantiateInitialViewController]; }

 

All code you can see on github. With simple example.

 

Please, use for free and like it.

Note: in example project by default the app uses method #2. You can disable this. Just comment define USE_ON_FLY_LOCALIZATION.
