How to get iOS device system language?

[4ila...@gmail.com]

Is there workable way to get proper system language?

Now I use java.util.Locale.getDefault().toString() 

But the problem is that when I set Russian language as system language on iPhone like this

java.util.Locale.getDefault().toString() returns me "en_US" not "ru_RU" as it should.

I do it this way -> 

Locale.getDefault().getLanguage();

for spanish it returns "es"

[Jon Renner]

When I did language testing I had to not only change language in settings but also change region or it would show up as en_US

[4ila...@gmail.com]

Yes, you are right. Locale.getDefault().getLanguage(); dealing with device region not device language.

May be there is still some way to take language not region as a condition?

You may want to have a look at the NSLocale class if you need more info than java.util.Locale provides.

This line of code

new NSLocale(); 

throws an Exception

Oh, ok the default constructor in NSLocale should be removed. Please try with the constructor that takes a Locale or the one which takes a String. Or one of the static methods which return the current locale.

Unfortunately, I still have the problems

NSLocale.getSystemLocale().toLocale() constantly throws an Exception

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Failed to convert NSLocale <__NSCFLocale: 0x10649eb0> to Java Locale

NSLocale.getCurrentLocale().toLocale().toString() returns "en_GB" even if I set device language to Russian like this

[Niklas Therning]

What does NSLocale.getSystemLocale().getLocaleIdentifier() return? There could be a bug in the toLocale() method. I haven't tested it.

[Nick Susha]

out.println("NSLocale.getSystemLocale().getLocaleIdentifier() = \""+NSLocale.getSystemLocale().getLocaleIdentifier()+"\"");

produces following output

NSLocale.getSystemLocale().getLocaleIdentifier() = ""

May be some one have this issue and already found the solution?

[Torsten Kunkel]

I hope it helps,

according to https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPInternational/Articles/ChoosingLocalizations.html you can use NSUserDefaults, take a look at this:

import org.robovm.apple.foundation.NSUserDefaults;

org.robovm.apple.foundation.NSArray<?> lang = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().arrayForKey$("AppleLanguages");

System.out.println(lang);

System.out.println(lang.getFirst());

These values change, depending on the language I choose in the settings of the device.

[Dmitry Kolesnikovich]

Thanks, it works.

PS.

NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().arrayForKey$("AppleLanguages").getFirst().toString();

returns"ru" for Russian, "en" for English, "fr" for French, etc

[Dmitry Kolesnikovich]

The only issue I face iOS 6 is that when I change language it still returns me previous language even if I relaunch the app.
