iOS 13 - per app language selection not appear when no preferred language added in general system language & region settings.

Hello,


My app is adapting the per app language support in iOS3 and I aware in one of the case when the device don't have any preferred language added inside the Systems -> General -> Language & Region, the per app settings page will not display the"Preferred Language" entry which mean user cannot change to other supported languages from there.


Is there any future plan from Apple to display "Preferred Language" in the per app settings pag even there is no perferred language added in general language & region page?


Thanks

Hello,
Can you please answer for first paragraph?

I don't understand why is it so necessary to add multiple preferred language to show per app language setting? I am very frustrated by this setting, users are very confused.


Thank you,

Because that’s the way Apple chose to design this. I’m not able to comment on the internal design process that lead to that decision (in this specific case I just don’t know but, even if I did know, I wouldn’t be able to comment). If you feel that this design could be better, the best way to get that feedback in front of the folks who made this decision is to file a bug report.

For information, I filed an improvement request with use cases some time ago.
