Answer 1

Try dateFormatFromTemplate:options:locale: in NSDateFormatter

Returns a localized date format string representing the given date
format components arranged appropriately for the specified locale.

For example, you can specify a template like “MMMM D, YYYY” and it will change the order of the terms for the locale that you specify.

UPDATE

If you want to know the language and the region, then you should try using this:

[NSLocale preferredLanguages] objectAtIndex:0] 

for the current language. (Languages are coded and in the order of most recently used first.)

[NSLocale currentLocale] localeIdentifier] 

for the region. Locale identifiers are coded (like it_IT for Italy). For a complete list of coded locales, use [NSLocale availableLocaleIdentifiers]

See the documentation for NSLocale to find out more about language and location.
