How to identify the user's language in iOS? [duplicate]

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15859886

Question

I'm very new to iOS and Objective-C and I've been working on a project for an SMS app in which the app contains a text box for the message and that box has a counter for the characters but the counter depends on the language of the text, so my question is how can I identify/detect what language is the user using?

Was it helpful?

Solution

You can get user's prefered language list by using NSLocal:

NSString * language = [[NSLocale preferredLanguages] objectAtIndex:0];
if ([language isEqualToString:@"en"]) {
    NSLog(@"user's prefered first language is English");
}

OTHER TIPS

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