Unfortunately, this is not possible. https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UIKit/Reference/UISwitch_Class/Reference/Reference.html The underlying native UISwitch class offers no means to change the text. iOS actually changes localizes the text automatically, and in cases where 'on' and 'off' would be too long, use 1 and 0. Proposing we change this to 'won't fix' or 'hold'. Updating this into a feature request since this is a request for added functionality.
