How to get current language code with Swift?

Question

I want get the language code of the device (en, es...) in my app written with Swift. How can get this?

I\'m trying this:

var preferredLanguages : NSL         


        

Answer 1

This is what I use in Swift 5 Xcode 11:

Inside the class variables:

let languagePrefix = Bundle.main.preferredLocalizations.first?.prefix(2)

This comes as a string. It returns 2 characters, i.e. "en", "es", "de"...

From this I can easily determine what language to display:

 if languagePrefix == "es" { self.flipCard.setTitle("última carta", for: .normal) }
 if languagePrefix == "en" { self.flipCard.setTitle("Last Card", for: .normal) }

If you want the full information of the language, then remove ?.prefex(2)
