TSLanguageManager is a little handy class that allows you to change the language of your app’s interface within the app and without the need of restarting. Moreover, the class uses the same dictionary system and files than the localization support offered by Apple.

TSLanguageManager offers the following features:
- Change your iOS app language on the fly, without restarting the app.
- Use the same dictionary system provided my Apple.
The usage of this class is very easy and transparent. Actually, it is like using the Apple’s localization support system. So, first you need to define your Localizable.strings files, as usual. One for each language you want to support.
When you need to obtain a localized string from one of the labels defined on your Localizable.strings files, you will use the localizedString: method just as it was the NSLocalizedString() macro:
NSString *aString = [LanguageManager localizedString:@"Hello"];
And that’s it! If you want to change the current language from within the app without restarting it, you use the following method:
[LanguageManager setSelectedLanguage:@"es"];
This line of code would set the current selected language to Spanish.
As usual, very easy to use ;)
To add TSLanguageManager to your project you just need to drag & drop the entire “TSLanguageManager” folder. There are only two files.
