how to localize address result from reverseGeocodeLocation?

My iphone app supposed to resolve address based on latitude and longitude of the user. reverseGeocodeLocation works fine, but results are in english.

Is there a way to localize the results to other languages?

couldnt find any information about it at apple or anywhere else.

The code I use is:

CLGeocoder *geocoder = [[[CLGeocoder alloc] init] autorelease];
CLLocation *location = [[[CLLocation alloc] 
       initWithLatitude:coord.latitude longitude:coord.longitude] autorelease];

[geocoder reverseGeocodeLocation:location completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
    NSLog(@"reverseGeocodeLocation:completionHandler: Completion Handler called!");

    if (error){
        NSLog(@"Geocode failed with error: %@", error);
        [self displayError:error];
        return;
    }
    if(placemarks && placemarks.count > 0)
    {
      //do something
        CLPlacemark *topResult = [placemarks objectAtIndex:0];

        NSString *addressTxt = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@,%@ %@", 
           [topResult subThoroughfare],[topResult thoroughfare],
           [topResult locality], [topResult administrativeArea]];
    }
}

i found how to localize country name, maybe it'll help:

CLPlacemark *placemark;

NSString *identifier = [NSLocale localeIdentifierFromComponents: [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject: placemark.ISOcountryCode forKey: NSLocaleCountryCode]];
NSLocale *usLocale = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_US"];
NSString *country = [usLocale displayNameForKey: NSLocaleIdentifier value: identifier];

insert any country id instead @"en_US"
