Use preferredLocalizations #5
Description
From http://nshipster.com/new-years-2015/#nsbundle--preferredlocalizations.
Sometimes, you need to know which language your app is running in. Often, people will use NSLocale +preferredLanguages. Unfortunately this tells nothing about the language the app is actually displaying. It will just give you the ordered list as found in "Settings → General → Language & Region → Preferred Language" Order on iOS, or "System Preferences → Language & Region → Preferred Languages" on OS X.
Imagine that the preferred language order is {English, French} but your app is German only. Calling [[NSLocale preferredLanguages] firstObject] will give you English when you want German.
The proper way to get the actual language used by the app is to use [[NSBundle mainBundle] preferredLocalizations].
I believe this also solves your issue @duemunk.
