I actually misread the original question, thought it asked for the "app UI" language (that's what I had googled for), not the "device UI", in which case the best answers would be the ones using preferredLocalizations, but those answers still give you a code, there is one more step to get a nice string to display. So, while the "device UI" language is already answered, if you want to display a nice string for which of the UI languages you support is currently in use, obviously the simplest solution is:

NSLocalizedString(@"currentLanguage", @"")

在你的每一个UI本地化中你都指定了你想要的显示方式。例如，在你的。strings文件的en版本中，你会有:

"currentLanguage"="English";

在你的fr版本的.strings文件中，你会有:

"currentLanguage"="Francais";

等。不要混淆代码等，你可以让你自己的字符串很好地匹配你的UI。

-(NSString *)returnPreferredLanguage { //as written text

NSUserDefaults * defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSArray *preferredLanguages = [defaults objectForKey:@"AppleLanguages"];
NSString *preferredLanguageCode = [preferredLanguages objectAtIndex:0]; //preferred device language code
NSLocale *enLocale = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en"]; //language name will be in English (or whatever)
NSString *languageName = [enLocale displayNameForKey:NSLocaleIdentifier value:preferredLanguageCode]; //name of language, eg. "French"
return languageName;

}

这可能会给你你想要的:

NSLocale *locale = [NSLocale currentLocale];

NSString *language = [locale displayNameForKey:NSLocaleIdentifier 
                                         value:[locale localeIdentifier]];

它会在语言本身中显示语言的名称。 例如:

Français (France)
English (United States)

对于Swift 3:

NSLocale。preferredLanguages[0]作为字符串

@amir在Swift中的回应:

// Get language prefered by user
let langageRegion = NSLocale.preferredLanguages().first!
let languageDic = NSLocale.componentsFromLocaleIdentifier(langageRegion)
let language = languageDic[NSLocaleLanguageCode]

对于MonoTouch c#开发人员使用:

NSLocale.PreferredLanguages.FirstOrDefault() ?? "en"

注:我知道这是一个iOS问题，但作为MonoTouch开发者，这个页面上的答案引导我走向正确的方向，我想分享一下结果。
