iOS:如何以编程方式更改应用程序语言而不重新启动应用程序?

标签: ios localization

当我在设备语言中单独更改应用程序使用的语言时,在我关闭应用程序并重新启动它之前它不会生效。如何根据所选语言不再要求重新启动应用程序以再次加载所有nib文件和.strings文件?

我用它来改变运行时的语言:

NSArray* languages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"ar", @"en", nil]; 
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:languages forKey:@"AppleLanguages"];

我对带有标签式导航的Kiosk模式iPad应用程序有类似的要求。该应用程序不仅需要支持即时语言更改,而且还必须知道大多数选项卡已经从笔尖加载,因为应用程序仅在每周一次重新启动(平均)时大约一次版本已加载。

我尝试了几个建议来利用现有的Apple本地化机制,它们都有严重的缺点,包括XCode 4.2对本地化nib的支持 - 我的IBoutlet连接变量似乎在IB中正确设置,但在运行时它们会经常是空的!?

我最终实现了一个模仿Apple NSLocalizedString类但可以处理运行时更改的类,每当用户进行语言更改时,我的类都会发布通知。需要本地化字符串(和图像)更改的屏幕声明了一个handleLocaleChange方法,该方法在viewDidLoad中调用,并且每当发布LocaleChangedNotification时。

我的所有按钮和图形都设计为与语言无关,但标题文本和标签文本通常会根据区域设置更改进行更新。如果我必须更改图像,我可以在每个屏幕的handleLocaleChange方法中完成,我想。

这是代码。它包括对nib / bundle路径的一些支持,我实际上并没有在最终项目中使用它。

只需使用此库, https://github.com/Baglan/MCLocalization 你可以随时轻松改变选定的语言:)

答案 2 :(得分:7)

不要依赖您在nib文件中设置的字符串。使用你的笔尖只用于布局&amp;设置视图。显示给用户的任何字符串(按钮文本等)都需要在Localizable.strings文件中,当您加载笔尖时,需要相应地在相应的视图/控件上设置文本。

获取当前语言的包:

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:currentLanguage ofType:@"lproj"];
if (path) {
    NSBundle *localeBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithPath:path];
}

使用bundle获取本地化字符串:

NSLocalizedStringFromTableInBundle(stringThatNeedsToBeLocalized, nil, localeBundle, nil);

同样对于日期格式化,您可能需要查看

[NSDateFormatter dateFormatFromTemplate:@"HH:mm:ss"" options:0 locale:locale];

要使用它,您需要为您希望使用的相应语言/国家/地区创建NSLocale。

继承人我的所作所为。我想诀窍是使用NSLocalizedStringFromTableInBundle而不是NSLocalizedString。

对于所有字符串,请使用此

someLabel.text = NSLocalizedStringFromTableInBundle(@"Your String to be localized, %@",nil,self.localeBundle,@"some context for translators");

要更改语言,请运行此代码

    NSString * language = @"zh-Hans"; //or whatever language you want
    NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:language ofType:@"lproj"];
    if (path) {
        self.localeBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithPath:path];
    }
    else {
        self.localeBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"en" ofType:@"lproj"] ];
    }

在此之后,您可能希望调用任何更新代码来将字符串更新为新语言,例如再次运行

someLabel.text = NSLocalizedStringFromTableInBundle(@"Your String to be localized, %@",nil,self.localeBundle,@"some context for translators");

多数民众赞成。无需重启应用。兼容系统设置(如果您通过iOS设置设置语言,它也会起作用)。不需要外部库。不需要越狱。它也适用于genstrings。

当然,您应该仍然按照惯例继续使用您的应用设置:

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"zh-Hans", nil] forKey:@"AppleLanguages"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];

(并检查你的viewDidLoad或其他东西)

NSString * language = [[NSLocale preferredLanguages] objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:language ofType:@"lproj"];
    if (path) {
        self.localeBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithPath:path];
    }
    else {
        self.localeBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"en" ofType:@"lproj"] ];
    }

这对我有用: 斯威夫特4:

创建一个名为BundleExtension.swift的文件,并将以下代码添加到其中 -

var bundleKey: UInt8 = 0

class AnyLanguageBundle: Bundle {

override func localizedString(forKey key: String,
                              value: String?,
                              table tableName: String?) -> String {

    guard let path = objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &bundleKey) as? String,
        let bundle = Bundle(path: path) else {

            return super.localizedString(forKey: key, value: value, table: tableName)
    }

    return bundle.localizedString(forKey: key, value: value, table: tableName)
  }
}

extension Bundle {

class func setLanguage(_ language: String) {

    defer {

        object_setClass(Bundle.main, AnyLanguageBundle.self)
    }

    objc_setAssociatedObject(Bundle.main, &bundleKey,    Bundle.main.path(forResource: language, ofType: "lproj"), .OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC)
  }
}

现在,无论何时需要更改语言,都可以调用此方法:

func languageButtonAction() {
    // This is done so that network calls now have the Accept-Language as "hi" (Using Alamofire) Check if you can remove these
    UserDefaults.standard.set(["hi"], forKey: "AppleLanguages")
    UserDefaults.standard.synchronize()

    // Update the language by swaping bundle
    Bundle.setLanguage("hi")

    // Done to reintantiate the storyboards instantly
    let storyboard = UIStoryboard.init(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
    UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController = storyboard.instantiateInitialViewController()
}

你应该创建一个类似于NSLocalizedString的自己的宏,但是根据你设置的NSUserDefaults值来选择一个字符串的束(即不要担心apple语言默认值的值是什么)

当您更改语言时,您应该发出通知,视图控制器,视图等应该监听并刷新自己
