I tried to use ABUnknownPersonViewController in my app, but it's only in english. I think it would be better if AddressBookUI shows it automatically in system language. Is there any way to show it in other languages or I need to make my own controller?

update: code 

    ABRecordRef aContact = ABPersonCreate();

    ABMutableMultiValueRef phoneNumbers = ABMultiValueCreateMutable(kABMultiStringPropertyType);

    ABMultiValueAddValueAndLabel(phoneNumbers, (__bridge CFStringRef)labelNumber.text, kABPersonPhoneMainLabel, NULL);


    ABRecordSetValue(aContact, kABPersonPhoneProperty, phoneNumbers, nil);

    ABUnknownPersonViewController *picker = [[ABUnknownPersonViewController alloc] init];
    picker.unknownPersonViewDelegate = nil;
    picker.displayedPerson = aContact;
    picker.allowsAddingToAddressBook = YES;
    picker.allowsActions = YES;

    [self.navigationController pushViewController:picker animated:YES];

    [picker release];

    CFRelease(phoneNumbers);
    CFRelease(aContact);

Edit: I just forgot to add language in project localizations

it is shown in the language that is supported by the app based on the user's preferred system language.

to localise the view apple uses NSLocalizedString and that uses:

    NSArray* preferredLanguages = [NSLocale preferredLanguages];
    NSString* languageCode = preferredLanguages[0];

You can change it before using NSLocalizedString the first time but It can't be changed on the fly. Note that it would change the language for ALL NSLocalizedString calls

  • but I checked it both in simulator and device: set some other language in system settings, but ABUnknownPersonViewController still appears in english – aterite Jul 16 '14 at 18:43
  • ok, got it, I've added localization to the project and it worked – aterite Jul 17 '14 at 08:31
