# Flutter localization gotcha with iOS Emulator

## Problem

When you use the [intl](https://pub.dev/packages/intl) package to get the current locale, it will always return English or 'en', when you use the iOS simulator.

Even when you set the language and region in the iOS settings, it will always return 'en'.


```dart
// This retrieves the current local
Intl.getCurrentLocale();  // returns 'en' using iOS Simulator
```

## Solution

Came across this [github issue](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/14128). 

And the solution was [found](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/14128#issuecomment-598011056).

Edit `info.plist` found in `ios/Runner` and add two configurations:

1. `Localizations` 

Add your supported languages or any languages that you need to test.

2. `Localized resources can be mixed` 

Set to YES.

For good measure, `flutter clean` and rebuild.
