    <p>I'm in the processes of internationalizing an iPhone app - I need to make programmatic changes to certain views based on what the user's current locale is. I'm going nuts because no matter what the language preference on the iPhone simulator or actual hardware are, <code>locale</code> always evaluates to "en_US":</p> <pre><code>NSString *locale = [[NSLocale currentLocale] localeIdentifier]; NSLog(@"current locale: %@", locale); </code></pre> <p>The crazy thing is that the rest of the application behaves as expected. The correct strings are selected from the Localization.strings file and used in the interface, and the correct .xib files for the selected locale are used.</p> <p>I have also tried the following, to no avail and with the same result:</p> <pre><code>NSString *locale = [[NSLocale autoupdatingCurrentLocale] localeIdentifier]; NSLog(@"current locale: %@", locale); </code></pre> <p>Is there something simple I'm missing? A preference or an import perhaps?</p> <p><strong>What I used to do:</strong></p> <p>As Darren's answer suggests, the preference I'm looking for is not in <code>NSLocale</code>, rather it is here:</p> <pre><code>NSUserDefaults* userDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]; NSArray* languages = [userDefaults objectForKey:@"AppleLanguages"]; NSString* preferredLanguage = [languages objectAtIndex:0]; NSLog(@"preferredLanguage: %@", preferredLang); </code></pre> <p><strong>Peter's answer seems to be a better solution:</strong></p> <pre><code>NSArray* preferredLanguages = [NSLocale preferredLanguages]; NSLog(@"preferredLanguages: %@", preferredLanguages); </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
