FR: Setting languageCode for Messaging

[srini2dl]

Feature proposal

• Firebase Component: InAppMessage

In FIRMessaging.M the current locale takes the value from [NSLocale preferredLanguages] which doesn't return what the actual language is used in the app's UI

It would be great if there is a way, where we can set the languageCode like we have in FirebaseAuth Auth.auth().languageCode = "fr"

Thanks for the feature request, @srini2dl. We will add this to the roadmap.

Just realized that this for the Cloud Messaging SDK. Assigning to the current support on-call.

@srini2dl we do use a list of language codes that is matching UI.

firebase-ios-sdk/FirebaseMessaging/Sources/FIRMessaging.m

Line 1027 in 793d763

+ (NSDictionary *)firebaselocalesMap {

is there a case that it doesn't fit your use case?

@chliangGoogle I was searching for a way to change the currentLocale that is set during function FIRMessagingSDKCurrentLocale

firebase-ios-sdk/FirebaseMessaging/Sources/FIRMessaging.m

Line 872 in 793d763

+ (NSString *)FIRMessagingSDKCurrentLocale {

my case is I m using NSLocalizedString to localize my app but
and in

firebase-ios-sdk/FirebaseMessaging/Sources/FIRMessaging.m

Line 1008 in 793d763

+ (NSString *)currentLocale {

the function returns the locale based on the device NSLocale preferredLanguages-> this list does not indicate what language the app is actually running in and the currentLocale is set to the iPhone Language that is set on Setting Language & Region

I see so you are saying your app is using a language that might not be the same as the system one on the device? So I guess it's a feature where like auth that allows developers to set an arbitrary language. Is my understanding of your case correct?
