你可以用你想要做这件事的本地化字符串集构建一个子bundle，然后使用NSLocalizedStringFromTableInBundle()来加载它们。(我假设这是与你可能在应用上做的正常UI本地化分开的内容。)

正如Brian Webster提到的，语言需要在“应用程序启动初期的某个时候”设置。我认为AppDelegate的applicationDidFinishLaunching:应该是一个合适的地方来做它，因为它是我做所有其他初始化的地方。

但正如威廉·丹尼斯提到的，这似乎只有在应用程序重新启动后才会起作用，这有点没用。

不过，如果我把代码放在main函数中，它似乎工作得很好:

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

    // Force language to Swedish.
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]
     setObject:[NSArray arrayWithObject:@"sv"]
     forKey:@"AppleLanguages"];

    int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, nil);
    [pool release];
    return retVal;
}

如果有任何评论，我将不胜感激。

Swift 3扩展:

extension Locale {
    static var preferredLanguage: String {
        get {
            return self.preferredLanguages.first ?? "en"
        }
        set {
            UserDefaults.standard.set([newValue], forKey: "AppleLanguages")
            UserDefaults.standard.synchronize()
        }
    }
}

extension String {
    var localized: String {

    var result: String

    let languageCode = Locale.preferredLanguage //en-US

    var path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: languageCode, ofType: "lproj")

    if path == nil, let hyphenRange = languageCode.range(of: "-") {
        let languageCodeShort = languageCode.substring(to: hyphenRange.lowerBound) // en
        path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: languageCodeShort, ofType: "lproj")
    }

    if let path = path, let locBundle = Bundle(path: path) {
        result = locBundle.localizedString(forKey: self, value: nil, table: nil)
    } else {
        result = NSLocalizedString(self, comment: "")
    }
        return result
    }
}

用法:

Locale.preferredLanguage = "uk"

label.text = "localizedKey".localized

也许你应该补充这个(在.pch文件#import后):

extern NSBundle* bundle; // Declared on Language.m

#ifdef NSLocalizedString
    #undef NSLocalizedString
    // Delete this line to avoid warning
    #warning "Undefining NSLocalizedString"
#endif

#define NSLocalizedString(key, comment) \
    [bundle localizedStringForKey:(key) value:@"" table:nil]

我通常这样做，但你必须有所有的本地化文件在你的项目。

@implementation Language

static NSBundle *bundle = nil;

+(void)initialize 
{
    NSUserDefaults* defs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
    NSArray* languages = [defs objectForKey:@"AppleLanguages"];
    NSString *current = [[languages objectAtIndex:0] retain];
    [self setLanguage:current];
}

/*
  example calls:
    [Language setLanguage:@"it"];
    [Language setLanguage:@"de"];
*/
+(void)setLanguage:(NSString *)l
{
    NSLog(@"preferredLang: %@", l);
    NSString *path = [[ NSBundle mainBundle ] pathForResource:l ofType:@"lproj" ];
    bundle = [[NSBundle bundleWithPath:path] retain];
}

+(NSString *)get:(NSString *)key alter:(NSString *)alternate 
{
    return [bundle localizedStringForKey:key value:alternate table:nil];
}

@end

请勿在iOS 9上使用。对于所有经过它的字符串返回nil。

我找到了另一个解决方案，允许您更新语言字符串，w/o重新启动应用程序和兼容genstrings:

将这个宏放在Prefix.pch中:

#define currentLanguageBundle [NSBundle bundleWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:[[NSLocale preferredLanguages] objectAtIndex:0] ofType:@"lproj"]]

在任何需要本地化字符串的地方使用:

NSLocalizedStringFromTableInBundle(@"GalleryTitleKey", nil, currentLanguageBundle, @"")

设置语言使用。

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:[NSArray arrayWithObject:@"de"] forKey:@"AppleLanguages"];

即使连续的语言跳跃也能工作，比如:

NSLog(@"test %@", NSLocalizedStringFromTableInBundle(@"NewKey", nil, currentLanguageBundle, @""));
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:[NSArray arrayWithObject:@"fr"] forKey:@"AppleLanguages"];
NSLog(@"test %@", NSLocalizedStringFromTableInBundle(@"NewKey", nil, currentLanguageBundle, @""));
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:[NSArray arrayWithObject:@"it"] forKey:@"AppleLanguages"];
NSLog(@"test %@", NSLocalizedStringFromTableInBundle(@"NewKey", nil, currentLanguageBundle, @""));
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:[NSArray arrayWithObject:@"de"] forKey:@"AppleLanguages"];
NSLog(@"test %@", NSLocalizedStringFromTableInBundle(@"NewKey", nil, currentLanguageBundle, @""));
