detecting locale on iOS

Question

Is there any way to detect the current locale of the iOS device? It's sort of important when localizing a game. I don't see anything in the docs.

How about Application.systemLanguage?

http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Application-systemLanguage.html

I think this will do the trick.

this is not the same as the locale. for instance on my system this returns "English" - what I really want is to be able to tell if I am, e.g. en-GB or en-US... lets say I want to use pound signs or dollar signs depending (as bitmaps say, not as some string)

You might find this plugin helpful: http://u3d.as/vXf

You can differentiate between e.g. en_US and en_GB using its API

[NSLocale currentLocale]

It's in the documentation: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSLocale_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/clm/NSLocale/currentLocale

This is the Unity Answers, so my question pertains to the Unity API. I know how to get anything from the iOS when coding in native Objective-C. This is also why I followed this question up with this one: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/192063/compiling-plugin-for-ios-need-more-info.html
