I'm trying to programmatically change the language of the app i'm developing. I am using:

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

But the titles of my UITabBar and UINavigationBar only change when i restart the app. Is there a solution for this? Is there a way to "refresh" this data?

Why are you changing this in the app? Normally, localization is adjusted by the user through the Settings app. – thegrinner May 13 '14 at 13:15
Im looking for this too but ios caches the language bundle... somehow we have to get it to reload its data :D – Daij-Djan May 13 '14 at 13:16
This is a feature the cliënt wants. :) – Kornelito Benito May 13 '14 at 13:17

@KhawarAli the problem is with screens/ui elements that come from the OS – Daij-Djan May 13 '14 at 13:18
yes. I know those 2 lines change the language, this works. I only need a work around so i don't have to restart the app. (reload the uitabbars and uinavigationbars..) – Kornelito Benito May 13 '14 at 13:26
