这个函数将尝试获取当前语言的本地化字符串，如果没有找到，它将使用英语语言获取它。

- (NSString*)L:(NSString*)key
{
    static NSString* valueNotFound = @"VALUE_NOT_FOUND";
    static NSBundle* enBundle = nil;

    NSString* pl = [NSLocale preferredLanguages][0];
    NSString* bp = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:pl ofType:@"lproj"];
    NSBundle* b = [NSBundle bundleWithPath:bp];

    NSString* s = [b localizedStringForKey:key value:valueNotFound table:nil];
    if ( [s isEqualToString:valueNotFound] ) {
        if ( !enBundle ) {
            bp = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"en" ofType:@"lproj"];
            enBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithPath:bp];
        }
        s = [enBundle localizedStringForKey:key value:key table:nil];
    }

    return s;
}

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, @""));

Swift 3解决方案:

let languages = ["bs", "zh-Hant", "en", "fi", "ko", "lv", "ms", "pl", "pt-BR", "ru", "sr-Latn", "sk", "es", "tr"]
UserDefaults.standard.set([languages[0]], forKey: "AppleLanguages")

给出了一些可以使用的语言代码的例子。希望这能有所帮助

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。)

我想添加对iOS官方不支持的语言的支持(未在系统设置下的语言部分列出)。通过遵循苹果的国际化教程和Brian Webster和geon的一些提示，我想出了这段代码(把它放在main.m中):

int main(int argc, char * argv[]) {
    @autoreleasepool {
        // Grab regional settings locale, for Slovenian this is either sl_SI or en_SI
        NSLocale *locale = [NSLocale currentLocale];
        NSString *ll = [locale localeIdentifier]; // sl_SI

        // Grab the first part of language identifier
        NSArray *comp = [ll componentsSeparatedByString:@"_"];
        NSString *ll1 = @"en";
        if (comp.count > 0) {
            ll1 = comp[0]; // sl, en, ...
        }
        // Check if we already saved language (user can manually change it inside app for example)
        if (![[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:@"SelectedLanguage"]) {
            //   Slovenian (Slovenia),            Slovenia
            if ([ll isEqualToString:@"sl_SI"] || [ll isEqualToString:@"en_SI"]) {
                ll1 = @"sl-SI"; // This is the part of localized path for Slovenian language that Xcode generates
            }
            // Add more unsupported languages here...

            [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:ll1 forKey:@"SelectedLanguage"]; // Save language
        }
        else {
            // Restore language as we have previously saved it
            ll1 = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:@"SelectedLanguage"];
        }
        // Overwrite NSLocalizedString and StoryBoard language preference
        [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:ll1, @"en", @"fr", nil] forKey:@"AppleLanguages"];
        // Make sure settings are stored to disk
        [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];

        return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class]));
    }
}

这适用于Storyboard和NSLocalizedString代码。该代码假设用户将有一个选项，手动更改应用程序内的语言稍后。

当然，不要忘记添加适当的故事板翻译和本地化。字符串翻译(见链接到上面的苹果页面如何做到这一点)。

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。
