Description

Since iOS 9 the same Titanium SDK returns a different value for Ti.Locale.currentLanguage. It now returns the full locale instead of just the language: *app.js*

console.log('currentLanguage ' + Ti.Locale.currentLanguage);
console.log('currentCountry ' + Ti.Locale.currentCountry);
console.log('currentLocale ' + Ti.Locale.currentLocale);

*iOS 8.4*

[INFO]  currentLanguage en
[INFO]  currentCountry US
[INFO]  currentLocale en-US

*iOS 9*

[INFO]  currentLanguage en-US
[INFO]  currentCountry US
[INFO]  currentLocale en-US

Thanks you for including so much detail in your ticket , should display the language without the location now. *PR* https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/7254

[~apetkov] this issue should be high pro because apps break on iOS9 without the fix. If we do a 5.0.3 this should be in it and for sure it must be in 5.1.0.
