How to get full display name for locale

I want to show "繁體中文", "简体中文" in a view.

I use Locale.displayname to get displayname and my parameter is "zh-Hant" and "zh-Hans", the value will return "中文（繁體）"and "中文（简体）".

Here is parts of my code:

let loacleName = locale.displayName(forKey: NSLocale.Key.identifier, value: "zh-Hant")

Is anyone know how can I get "繁體中文", "简体中文" from iOS function?

This is a solution using native Locale. For the identifiers zh-Hant and zh-Hans it removes the unwanted characters with Regular Expression (be aware that the characters are not parentheses and space characters) and swaps both pairs.

extension Locale {
    var localizedFullDisplayName : String? {
        if self.identifier.hasPrefix("zh-Han") {
            guard let trimmed = self.localizedString(forIdentifier: self.identifier)?.replacingOccurrences(of: "[（）]", with: "", options: .regularExpression) else { return nil }
            return String(trimmed.suffix(2) + trimmed.prefix(2))
        } else {
            return self.localizedString(forIdentifier: locale.identifier)
        }
    }
}

let locale = Locale(identifier: "zh-Hans")
locale.localizedFullDisplayName
