To use UIPrefersShowingLanguageSettings, you need to specify it in your app's Info.plist. This setting allows the language option to always be visible in the settings, even if the user has only one preferred language. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Open your app's Info.plist file.
  2. Add a new key called UIPrefersShowingLanguageSettings.
  3. Set its value to YES.

This ensures that the language settings for your app are always accessible to the user. Additionally, you can add an affordance, such as a button, to jump directly to the settings for your app if needed.

For more details, you can refer to the session Build multilingual-ready apps.
