I "watched" via the WWDC app the talk on Advanced Internationalization. They revealed the following for iOS 8:
Apple are changing the Language & Locale settings for iOS 8. Two big changes worth noting:
users can now specify their preferred languages in order of preference, and they can include languages beyond those iOS itself is localized into
app developers, therefore, are finally going to be able to provide localizations in their apps for any language they want to support even if the OS itself isn’t localized in those languages
New UI localizations:
Hindi, Indian English, Canadian French, Hong Kong Chinese
New Keyboards:
Bengali, Marathi, Urdu, Indian English, Filipino, Slovenian
+ various new fonts, calendars (lunar, islamic), and developer APIs –
text encoding detection/conversion, date and time duration/interval formatting, and locale-appropriate measures for energy, length and mass.
