显然，解决方案依赖于，例如

[[NSLocale preferredLanguages] objectAtIndex:0]

通常工作正常，并返回当前设备语言。

但在某些情况下，它可能会产生误导:

如果你想要获取这个值的应用程序已经改变了语言，例如使用这样的代码:

NSString *lg = @"en"; // or anything like @"en", @"fr", etc.
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] 
    setObject:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:lg, nil]  
    forKey:@"AppleLanguages"]

在这种情况下，[NSLocale preferredLanguages]实际上返回这个特定应用程序的首选语言集(和使用)，而不是当前设备语言!

和…在这种情况下，正确获得实际当前设备语言(而不是之前在应用程序中设置的语言)的唯一方法是首先清除NSUserDefaults中的@"appleLanguages"键，像这样:

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]removeObjectForKey:@"AppleLanguages"];

然后，[NSLocale preferredLanguages]现在返回正确的值。

希望这对你有所帮助。

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;
}

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。

@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]

iOS13, Swift 5+， WWDC2019 https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/403/

用户可以独立于操作系统语言选择应用程序的首选语言。

你可以使用这些:

    // Returns a list of the user's preferred languages.
    // Maybe more than (or none of) your app supports!
    Locale.preferredLanguages

    // a subset of this bundle's localizations, re-ordered into the preferred order
    // for this process's current execution environment; the main bundle's preferred localizations
    // indicate the language (of text) the user is most likely seeing in the UI
    Bundle.main.preferredLocalizations



    // The current running app language
    Bundle.main.preferredLocalizations.first

    // list of language names this bundle appears to be localized to
    Bundle.main.localizations

let locale = Locale.current
let code = (locale as NSLocale).object(forKey: NSLocale.Key.countryCode) as! String?
print(code!)
