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？

Question

当我在设备语言上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？

我用它在运行时更改语言:

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

我对带有标签导航的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,而且必须这样做,因为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)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,包括在XCode 4.2中对本地化nib的支持 - 我的IBoutlet连接变量似乎在IB中正确设置,但在运行时它们通常为null !？

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.

虽然标题文本和标签文本通常会根据区域设置更改进行更新,但我的所有按钮和图形都设计为与语言无关.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.

这对我有用：Swift 4：

创建一个名为BundleExtension.swift的文件，并向其中添加以下代码-

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，每当您需要更改语言时，请调用此方法：

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()
}

Answer 3

不要依赖您在nib文件中设置的字符串.仅将您的笔尖用于视图的布局和设置.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,并且在加载nib时,需要相应地在相应的视图/控件上设置文本.

要获取当前语言的包:

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

并使用bundle来获取本地化字符串:

NSLocalizedStringFromTableInBundle(stringThatNeedsToBeLocalized, nil, localeBundle, nil);

此外,对于日期格式,您可能需要查看

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

要使用它,您需要为要使用的相应语言/国家/地区创建NSLocale.

Answer 4

这是我所做的。我猜想诀窍是使用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，请运行以下代码

    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"] ];
    }

之后，您可能希望调用任何更新代码以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");

就这样。无需重启应用。也与系统设置兼容（如果您通过iOS设置来设置语言，那么它也可以使用）。无需外部库。无需越狱。它也适用于genstrings。

当然，您仍应按常规进行操作以保持应用设置：

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

（并检查您的viewDidLoad或其他内容）

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"] ];
    }
