Swift 4的更新答案

let language = Bundle.main.preferredLocalizations.first

我用这个

    NSArray *arr = [NSLocale preferredLanguages];
for (NSString *lan in arr) {
    NSLog(@"%@: %@ %@",lan, [NSLocale canonicalLanguageIdentifierFromString:lan], [[[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:lan] displayNameForKey:NSLocaleIdentifier value:lan]);
}

忽略内存泄漏..

结果是

2013-03-02 20:01:57.457 xx[12334:907] zh-Hans: zh-Hans 中文（简体中文）
2013-03-02 20:01:57.460 xx[12334:907] en: en English

根据苹果文档

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

我试图为自己找出正确的解决办法。当我使用Locale.preferredLanguages.first从你的应用程序设置返回首选语言。

如果你想从用户设备设置中了解语言，你应该使用下面的字符串:

斯威夫特3

let currentDeviceLanguage = Locale.current.languageCode
// Will return the optional String

要展开并使用，请看下面这行:

if let currentDeviceLanguage = Locale.current.languageCode {
    print("currentLanguage", currentDeviceLanguage)

    // For example
    if currentDeviceLanguage == "he" {
        UIView.appearance().semanticContentAttribute = .forceRightToLeft
    } else {
        UIView.appearance().semanticContentAttribute = .forceLeftToRight
    }
}

-(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;

}

如果你正在寻找首选语言代码(“en”，“de”，“es”…)，和本地化的首选语言名称(当前地区)，这里有一个简单的Swift扩展:

extension Locale {
    static var preferredLanguageIdentifier: String {
        let id = Locale.preferredLanguages.first!
        let comps = Locale.components(fromIdentifier: id)
        return comps.values.first!
    }

    static var preferredLanguageLocalizedString: String {
        let id = Locale.preferredLanguages.first!
        return Locale.current.localizedString(forLanguageCode: id)!
    }
}
