In a Playground created in XCode 9.1 Beta, if I type

print(Locale.current)

I get

en_EN (current),

despite I have set the System preference to a different region.

If an open (in XCode 9) a Playground created in XCode 8, I get the correct current

fr_FR (current)

The same in an IOS App gives in XCode 9

fr_US (current)

It works OK in XCode 8

Is there a known problem in XCode 9.1 Beta for Locale ?

What type of playground are you creating? I would expect macOS playgrounds to pick up their locale from the system. iOS playgrounds, on the other hand, are trickier because they rely on some underlying simulator.

Thanks. But please update your bug report to be more specific about the steps you took to reproduce this.

Yes, that's an IOS playground.

I Updated the bug report and attached the playground.

Oh, and one more thing (I posted a specific on this 😕):

I don't know how to write the equivalent in Swift of objC : string path(path_in);

Can you help on this ? Thanks

I’m not able to parse that second paragraph. I also didn’t see your separate thread about it. I recommend you create a separate thread, including more details, and then post the link to it here.
