User-controlled NSLocalizedString interface changes

I am working on an app that has strings files for all the UI text. Depending on their language in the iPad international settings, they will start up with their chosen language on all the UI elements.

I want to add the ability for the user to change this within the app, so they could choose from the supported languages and the app would update the UI to the new choice. This way we could set up a kiosk where tourists can select their own language without assistance.

I'm not sure whether I should use NSLocalizedString:withTable: and pull the strings files into en.strings, zh.strings (instead of en.lproj/Localizable.strings) but that seems like a lot of unnecessary work.

Is there a way to use NSLocale to set the user language for the app and still use the NSLocalizedString() call?
