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。

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。

Swift 4的更新答案

let language = Bundle.main.preferredLocalizations.first

根据苹果文档

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

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)

如果你只想得到语言，这里是我建议的答案:

NSString *langplusreg = [[NSLocale preferredLanguages] objectAtIndex:0];
NSString * langonly = [[langplusreg componentsSeparatedByString:@"-"] 
objectAtIndex:0];

在我的情况下，我只是想Locale语言而不是Locale区域。

输出: 如果你的区域语言是日语，区域区域是日本，那么:

朗加雷格 = 是-JP

朗只 = 和
