-(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;

}

SWIFT-4

 // To get device default selected language. It will print like short name of zone. For english, en or spain, es.

let language = Bundle.main.preferredLocalizations.first! as NSString
print("device language",language)

从iOS 9开始，如果你只想要语言代码而不需要国家代码，你将需要这种帮助函数——因为语言将包含国家代码。

// gets the language code without country code in uppercase format, i.e. EN or DE
NSString* GetLanguageCode()
{
    static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
    static NSString* lang;
    dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^
    {
        lang = [[[NSLocale preferredLanguages] objectAtIndex:0] uppercaseString];
        NSRegularExpression* regex = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"^[A-Za-z]+" options:0 error:nil];
        NSTextCheckingResult* match = [regex firstMatchInString:lang options:0 range:NSMakeRange(0, lang.length)];
        if (match.range.location != NSNotFound)
        {
            lang = [lang substringToIndex:match.range.length];
        }
    });
    return lang;
}

根据苹果文档

NSUserDefaults* defs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSArray* languages = [defs objectForKey:@"AppleLanguages"];
NSString* preferredLang = [languages objectAtIndex:0];

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。

获取设备的当前语言

NSLocale.preferredLanguages()[0] as String

获取应用程序语言

NSBundle.mainBundle().preferredLocalizations[0] as NSString

注意:

它获取你在info.plist的CFBundleDevelopmentRegion中给出的语言

如果CFBundleAllowMixedLocalizations在info中为true。plist然后info中的cfbundlelocizations的第一项。返回Plist
