I found the answer

NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setObject(["fr"], forKey: "AppleLanguages")
NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().synchronize()

Swift 3:

UserDefaults.standard.set(["fr"], forKey: "AppleLanguages")
UserDefaults.standard.synchronize()

It seems to work only after you restart the app (iOS 11) – Daniel Feb 14 '18 at 09:41
