Get CLGeocoder values only in english - ios

Question

How can I get all the values (country, CITY(important) and thoroughfare) and from CLGeocoder only in english and ignore the language of the device?
My code:
-(void)updateLocations
{
// Create a location manager
locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
// Set a delegate to receive location callbacks
locationManager.delegate = self;
// Start the location manager
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
// [self.locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
[locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
}
-(void)updateLocationManager : (CLLocationManager *)manager
{
CLGeocoder *geocoder = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init];
[geocoder reverseGeocodeLocation:locationManager.location completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error)
{
if(placemarks && placemarks.count > 0)
{
CLPlacemark *placemark = [placemarks objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *country = placemark.country;
// Getting the City
NSString *city = placemark.addressDictionary[#"City"];
NSString *thoroughfare = [placemark thoroughfare];
}
else
{
NSLog(#"Geocode failed with error: %#", error);
return;
}
}];
}

Try changing the NSUserDefaults value for AppleLanguages key before querying for the location
NSArray *currentLanguageArray = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:#"AppleLanguages"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject: [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"en", nil] forKey:#"AppleLanguages"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
//get the location
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:currentLanguageArray forKey:#"AppleLanguages"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];

It is working for me, but you have to add the code like this:
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation{
CLLocation *currentLocation = newLocation;
if (currentLocation != nil) {
NSLog(#"lon - %#", [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.8f", currentLocation.coordinate.longitude]);
NSLog(#"lat - %#", [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.8f", currentLocation.coordinate.latitude]);
}
// Reverse Geocoding
NSLog(#"Resolving the Address");
NSArray *currentLanguageArray = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:#"AppleLanguages"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject: [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"en_US", nil] forKey:#"AppleLanguages"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
[_geocoder reverseGeocodeLocation:currentLocation completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Found placemarks: %#, error: %#", placemarks, error);
if (error == nil && [placemarks count] > 0) {
_placemark = [placemarks lastObject];
//addressLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# %#\n%# %#\n%#\n%#",
// placemark.subThoroughfare, placemark.thoroughfare,
// placemark.postalCode, placemark.locality,
// placemark.administrativeArea,
// placemark.country];
NSLog(#"%# - %#", _placemark.locality, _placemark.country);
} else {
NSLog(#"%#", error.debugDescription);
}
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:currentLanguageArray forKey:#"AppleLanguages"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
} ];}
In the sample code I am using this variables:
#property(nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet MKMapView *mapView;
#property(nonatomic, retain) CLLocationManager *locationManager;
#property(nonatomic, retain) CLGeocoder *geocoder;
#property(nonatomic, retain) CLPlacemark *placemark;
This sample code is giving the city name and the Country in English, I have not tested the city name if it is shown in english properly, but it is probably fine.
Hope it helps!!

Try to change language and region on your device. It's works correct for me. I hope this will help
