How to Force Default Language to English in CLLocationManager? - ios

Question

SO, I am new to swift and I made the conversion from current Lat and Long to City name and Country, it works fine like that:
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation])
{
if didFindLocation == false
{
didFindLocation = true
locationManager.stopUpdatingLocation()
userLocation = locations[0]
long = userLocation.coordinate.longitude;
lat = userLocation.coordinate.latitude;
print("\(lat),\(long)")
converLocationToCity()
}
}
func converLocationToCity()
{
let geoCoder = CLGeocoder()
userLocation = CLLocation(latitude: self.lat, longitude: self.long)
geoCoder.reverseGeocodeLocation(userLocation, completionHandler:
{
(placemarks, error) -> Void in
var placeMark: CLPlacemark!
placeMark = placemarks?[0]
if let city = placeMark.addressDictionary!["State"] as? String
{
self.city = city as String
} else
{
self.city = ""
}
if let country = placeMark.addressDictionary!["Country"] as? String
{
self.country = country as String
} else
{
self.country = ""
}
self.currentCity.name = ("\(self.city), \(self.country)" as String)
print("\(self.currentCity.name)")
self.fetchWeather.performCurrentWeatherFetch(forSelectedCity: self.currentCity.name)
DispatchQueue.main.async()
{
(self.superview as! UICollectionView).reloadData()
}
})
}
But when the device is set to other language, Russian for example it returns me the City Name and Country in Russian characters, but I need it to be only in english, please anybody some ideas or suggestions? Thank you!

Here is My Solution
While getting the location data i change `UserDefaults.standard.set(["base"], forKey: "AppleLanguages")'
and once I have received the dictionary in English i remove the Object
UserDefaults.standard.removeObject(forKey: "AppleLanguages")
which then sets applelanguage to default value
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
let userLocation:CLLocation = locations[0] as CLLocation
// Call stopUpdatingLocation() to stop listening for location updates,
// other wise this function will be called every time when user location changes.
// manager.stopUpdatingLocation()
print("user latitude = \(userLocation.coordinate.latitude)")
print("user longitude = \(userLocation.coordinate.longitude)")
let geoCoder = CLGeocoder()
let location = CLLocation(latitude: userLocation.coordinate.latitude, longitude: userLocation.coordinate.longitude)
//location.accessibilityLanguage = "en-US"
UserDefaults.standard.set(["base"], forKey: "AppleLanguages")
geoCoder.reverseGeocodeLocation(location, completionHandler: { placemarks, error in
guard let addressDict = placemarks?[0].addressDictionary else {
return
}
print(addressDict)
// Print each key-value pair in a new row
addressDict.forEach { print($0) }
// Print fully formatted address
if let formattedAddress = addressDict["FormattedAddressLines"] as? [String] {
print(formattedAddress.joined(separator: ", "))
}
// Access each element manually
if let locationName = addressDict["Name"] as? String {
print(locationName)
}
if let street = addressDict["Thoroughfare"] as? String {
print(street)
}
var myCity:String = ""
if let city = addressDict["City"] as? String {
print(city)
if(city != "" ){
myCity = city
}
}
if let zip = addressDict["ZIP"] as? String {
print(zip)
}
var myCountry:String = ""
if let country = addressDict["Country"] as? String {
print(country)
if(country != "" ){
myCountry = country
}
MyGenericFunctions.sharedInstance.saveCountry(country: country)
}
manager.stopUpdatingLocation()
if(myCity != "" && myCountry != "" && self.isCurrLocAPICalled != true){
print("API Called")
self.isCurrLocAPICalled = true
self.callLocationSearch(strCity: myCity, strCountry: myCountry)
UserDefaults.standard.removeObject(forKey: "AppleLanguages")
}
})
//manager.stopUpdatingLocation()
}
