Area:
UIKit

Summary:
For UITextField with decimal pad, textInputMode should return current device's language. Instead, it returns "en-US" all the time.

Steps to Reproduce:
Change your device or simulator language to other than English. Let's say Spanish.
Create a UITextField and give it the decimal pad keyboard type.

Expected Results:
textfield's textInputMode.primaryLanguage should return "es-ES"

Actual Results:
It returns "en-US", as you can see in the iOS 11 Project attached.

Regression:
As of iOS 10.3, this is not reproducible, as you can see in the project attached as well.

Version/Build: Version 9.0 beta 6 (9M214v)
