keyboard language in objective C

Question

Are there Notifications or Delegate functions that detect switching keyboard language?

When I press Language Key in keyboard .. I need a delegate function that handle this in the code to change the direction of UITextfield.

According to this answer:

The answer is that when you switch languages, the UIKeyboardDidShowNotification fires for each change

So you'll just have to register for that notification and then run your code:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardWasShown:) name:UIKeyboardDidShowNotification object:nil];

- (void)keyboardWasShown:(NSNotification *)notification
{
   NSString * currentLanguage = [UITextInputMode currentInputMode].primaryLanguage;
}

Update

The above method doesn't work, however if we register to UITextInputCurrentInputModeDidChangeNotification we do get a callback.
