Set language in Swift 3

Swift 2 contains function:

NSBundle.setLanguage("...")

But new class "Bundle" doesn't contain method setLanguage in Swift 3. What is the best way to set language in Swift 3?

setLanguage() seems to have been deprecated in Swift 3 Bundle or you're using an NSBundle extension. Instead, here's what you can do:

let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: lang, ofType: "lproj")

let bundle = Bundle(path: path!)

Then you can use that bundle to get a localized string. Here's an extension I wrote for just that:

extension String {
    func localized(lang:String) -> String? {
        if let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: lang, ofType: "lproj") {
            if let bundle = Bundle(path: path) {
                return NSLocalizedString(self, tableName: nil, bundle: bundle, value: "", comment: "")
            }
        }

        return nil;
    }
}

Usage

"any string from the strings file".localized("en")    // or "sv" for Swedish or "fi" for Finnish
