You can use following code to set the language

- (void) setLanguage:(NSString*) lang {
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:lang ofType:@"lproj"]; 
if (path == nil) {
    myBundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
} else { 
    myBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithPath:path];
}
if (myBundle == nil) {
    myBundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
}
}

And after that you can get the localizations with

- (NSString*) localizedStringForKey:(NSString*) key {
   return [myBundle localizedStringForKey:key value:@"" table:nil];
}

For example store different static json/plist and etc in your app with different languages strings and when you switch option parse this and set to labels.

how do you switch the option ? – Teja Nandamuri Jun 01 '16 at 12:30
In UI you can add a switch button in some settings page or in code check in code `[NSLocale currentLocale]` or `[NSLocale systemLocale]` but for it better use a standard localized.strings – iSashok Jun 01 '16 at 12:36

i am not sure but try this code once using NSUserDefaults

NSUserDefaults* userDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSMutableArray* languages = [userDefaults objectForKey:@"AppleLanguages"];
[languages insertObject:@"de" atIndex:0]; // ISO639-1
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
