Can I change the Apple Watch simulator language?

Is it possible to change the Apple Watch simulator locale? I want to test the localization of my watch app. I can change language on an iPhone simulator, but the watch simulator is always in English. I can't find any language settings:

Apple Watch Simulator Settings Apple Watch Simulator Settings General (top) Apple Watch Simulator Settings General (bot)

Solution

  • Most certainly not possible neither via Watch Simulator UI nor iOS Simulator Watch app, but you can copy over values from iOS Simulator folder located in:

    <simulator_dev_folder>/data/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist

    to the same file in your Watch Simulator.

    Plist keys to look for:

    • AppleLocale
    • AppleLanguages
    • AppleKeyboards
