NSLocale always returns en_US

Question

I want to get current selected iphone language. If using "NSLocale" it returns always the same language. It seems that this is not the one you choose inside iphone settings.

NSLocale * locale = [NSLocale currentLocale];
NSString * localLanguage = [locale objectForKey:NSLocaleLanguageCode];
NSLog (@"Language : %@", localLanguage); // Returns always : "en_US"

How to obtain the current language?

Answer 1

Try [[NSLocale autoupdatingCurrentLocale] objectForKey:NSLocaleLanguageCode]

Answer 2

The answer is to check the preferred language :

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