I have Russian language in Settings -> General -> iPad language and also Russia region in same palce but I see that alert in english language. Is it localized or not?

I see following text:

"MyVpnApp" Would Like to Add VPN Configurations

All network activity on this iPad may be filtered or monitored when using VPN.

Russian user expects this text in Russian becuase other OS messages are translated.

In general, system components running on behalf of your app should match the language that the system thinks your app is running in. This doesn’t seem to be happening in this case; I was able to replicate your result with a small test app here )-: This is not good. Please file a bug about this, and post your bug number here, just for the record.

    The bug that Ivan8585 filed (r. 25903822) was dup’d to another bug (r. 29009244) that was reported fixed in iOS 11. However, I just tried this myself on iOS 11.1 and, alas, it’s still broken. I’ve filed my own bug about this (r. 35768390) and hopefully we can get it fixed for real this time.

      Someone asked me offline whether I’d heard anything back about the bug that I filed (r. 35768390). The answer here is, yes, I have, but I can’t post any details here because the fix is not yet available in any seeded release.

        @eskimo do you have any update on how to provide localized version of the VPN configurations dialog? The issue still persists on iOS 12.2 .

        No. The only way that I can see this working is for Apple to ship a fix for this bug.
