In short: Yes.
The NSLocalizedString is a macro, which you can replace with your own macro and do the language loading yourself. This might require setting most of the strings in code though and you will not be able to use them in Storyboards.
However, changing the locale manually in NSUserDefaults works if you want to change the locale.
