iOS Localization (setting it in the app)

in my application I must have two languages, but the problem is that they should be switched by pressing a button in the application (on the first screen, or screen settings). As I understand, all the methods of localization (Localizing the Storyboard, Localizing Dynamic Strings) based on the language settings of the iPhone. The only option that comes to my mind - do it by the record in NSUserDefault about language preference, and in ViewDidLoad methods of all ViewControllers check the record about language and in accordance with it set strings, picture and so on. Can it be done on a more clever way?

You have to manually mange the currently selected language into user default and load the bundle folder according to selected language key like, i have done this and worked like charm

if ([currentLanguage isEqualToString:@"fr"]) {  // If French.
        languageBundle = nil;
        NSString* path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"fr" ofType:@"lproj"];
        languageBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithPath:path];
}

Try this:

If de is the new language selected by the user. Also assure that you are reinitiating the current view.

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"de", nil] 
                                      forKey:@"AppleLanguages"];

See the below link and source code

and here is the code of one sample app https://github.com/object2dot0/Advance-Localization-in-ios-apps
