I'd like to have my iOS automation be able to set the devices language before running a specific test. Has anyone solved this problem?
I really wish the iOS automation framework allowed me to hit the home button, click settings, etc., but that's not currently supported... I already use a fiddler service I built to fake dropped connections, etc.
I do this by changing the preference files for the Simulator in my Screen Shooter utility.

That sample project uses UI Automation and shell scripts to take screen shots in different languages. Check out the bin/choose_sim_language script for more details.
