localizedString(forRegionCode:) uses a language the app does not support
iPad Settings:
The language order is:
- French
- Chinese
and the region is set to germany.
The app supports:
- chinese
The pod supports:
- chinese
- french.
Now, in the pod, When I call NSLocalizedStrings like this:
NSLocalizedString("Search", tableName: nil, bundle: loginBundle, value: "", comment: "Search") I get the translation in chinese (as expected).
However, when I call NSLocale.current.localizedString(forRegionCode:) I get the country name in french instead of chinese. NSLocale.current.languageCode is "zh"and NSLocale.current.regionCode is "DE"
How can I get the country name in the currently used language?

The language used in the app is device-specific first, and then app-specific. So, it uses the most preferred language on the device first, which is also available in the bundle. In particular you can test why the issue is happening by looking at Locale.preferredLanguages.first.
See here. So, you can get what you're looking for with:
Locale(identifier: Bundle.main.preferredLocalizations[0]).localizedString(forRegionCode:)
To ensure you set the bundle’s preferred localisation to Chinese, you could also manually select the Locale using Locale(identifier: “zh”). But using the app bundle fixes the issue without hardcoding.

Also, why would it work withLocale(identifier: loginBundle.preferredLocalizations[0])with zh, when I am usingLocale.currentwith zh and it doesn't?
