How do I retrieve the language of the current keyboard?

Question

I was able to retrieve the list of installed keyboards through NSUserDefaults and AppleKeyboards, but I wasn't able to find out which one is the current user selected. Anyway to do so programmatically?

Try using this:

[UITextInputMode currentInputMode].primaryLanguage

If you use NSLog, you will see something like fr-FR, pt-BR etc...

Thank you, that is what I was looking for, but that is deprecated on iOS 7. Do you know what it was replaced with? – Jonas Stawski Jan 08 '14 at 20:24
I looked for a new method on the Apple's documentation, but it doesn't give us any method anymore. – scollaco Jan 08 '14 at 20:35
Yeah, so did I. I guess I'll use this until it breaks or I find out a better way. Thanks – Jonas Stawski Jan 08 '14 at 20:58
