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

如前所述，只要做:

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject: [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"el", nil] forKey:@"AppleLanguages"];

但是为了避免不得不重新启动应用程序，请将该行放在main的main方法中。m，就在UIApplicationMain(…)之前。

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]

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

我最近也遇到了同样的问题，我不想启动和修补我的整个NSLocalizedString，也不想强迫应用程序重新启动新的语言工作。我希望一切都能按原样工作。

我的解决方案是动态地改变主bundle的类，并在那里加载适当的bundle:

头文件

@interface NSBundle (Language)
+(void)setLanguage:(NSString*)language;
@end

实现

#import <objc/runtime.h>

static const char _bundle=0;

@interface BundleEx : NSBundle
@end

@implementation BundleEx
-(NSString*)localizedStringForKey:(NSString *)key value:(NSString *)value table:(NSString *)tableName
{
    NSBundle* bundle=objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &_bundle);
    return bundle ? [bundle localizedStringForKey:key value:value table:tableName] : [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]);
    });
    objc_setAssociatedObject([NSBundle mainBundle], &_bundle, language ? [NSBundle bundleWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:language ofType:@"lproj"]] : nil, OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC);
}
@end

所以基本上，当你的应用启动时，在你加载你的第一个控制器之前，简单地调用:

[NSBundle setLanguage:@"en"];

当你的用户在你的设置界面中改变他的首选语言时，只需再次调用它:

[NSBundle setLanguage:@"fr"];

要重置回系统默认值，只需传入nil:

[NSBundle setLanguage:nil];

享受……

对于那些需要Swift版本的人:

var bundleKey: UInt8 = 0

class AnyLanguageBundle: Bundle {

    override func localizedString(forKey key: String,
                                  value: String?,
                                  table tableName: String?) -> String {

        guard let path = objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &bundleKey) as? String,
              let bundle = Bundle(path: path) else {

            return super.localizedString(forKey: key, value: value, table: tableName)
            }

        return bundle.localizedString(forKey: key, value: value, table: tableName)
    }
}

extension Bundle {

    class func setLanguage(_ language: String) {

        defer {

            object_setClass(Bundle.main, AnyLanguageBundle.self)
        }

        objc_setAssociatedObject(Bundle.main, &bundleKey,    Bundle.main.path(forResource: language, ofType: "lproj"), .OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC)
    }
}

NSLocalizedString() reads the value for the key AppleLanguages from the standard user defaults ([NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]). It uses that value to choose an appropriate localization among all existing localizations at runtime. When Apple builds the user defaults dictionary at app launch, they look up the preferred language(s) key in the system preferences and copy the value from there. This also explains for example why changing the language settings in OS X has no effect on running apps, only on apps started thereafter. Once copied, the value is not updated just because the settings change. That's why iOS restarts all apps if you change then language.

但是，用户默认字典的所有值都可以被命令行参数覆盖。请参阅NSArgumentDomain上的NSUserDefaults文档。这甚至包括那些从应用程序首选项(.plist)文件加载的值。如果您只是为了测试而更改一个值，了解这一点非常有用。

所以如果你想改变语言只是为了测试，你可能不想改变你的代码(如果你忘记删除这段代码…)，而是告诉Xcode用一个命令行参数启动你的应用程序(例如使用西班牙语本地化):

根本不需要修改代码。只需为不同的语言创建不同的方案，您可以快速启动应用程序一次在一种语言和一次在另一种只需切换方案。
