React native – Is it possible to change language of iOS actions menu

I’m using React Native app with ReactNativeWebView.

By clicking on:

<input
              ref={hiddenFileInput}
              hidden
              accept='.pdf, .png, .jpg, .jpeg'
              type='file'
              onChange={onChangeFileInput}
            />

I’m launching actions menu on Iphone (iOS).

How it looks:

    If the device (or the app) is set to a nonEnglish language, that menu will appear in that language. Otherwise, no. In other words, that menu is responding to the user’s preferences, not to (say) the content of the web page.

    According to this github issue you may be able to get this to work by using this setting in Info.plist:

    <key>CFBundleLocalizations</key>
    <array>
        <string>en</string>
        <string>de</string>
        <string>es</string>
    </array>
