So I've been sitting here trying to figure out how to localize my help
files folder for the longest time, and I can't seem to figure out how
to do it.
Here's the situation: I want to get the help folder in the localized
.lproj folders -- so for example, the help folder that contains all the
help files and images would go in "English.lproj", "Japanese.lproj",
etc., with just the localized files for each languages inside the
corresponding help folders. The problem is that Xcode seems to refuse
to let me build my structure this way -- I import one of the HTML
files, and Xcode puts it in the resources folder by default. However,
when I go and make the file localizable, it puts the HTML file (for
example "index.html") directly inside the .lproj folders, instead of
inside a help folder which is inside the .lproj folder. Then, when I
try to change the path for the English localization using the inspector
window to be English.lproj/Help/index.html , Xcode changes the name of
the localization to "index.html" when it's supposed to be "English", so
when building the project, Xcode doesn't put the file in the correct
path. If I change the name to "English", it actually changes the
corresponding file's name to "English", which won't help when the Help
Viewer is looking for the "index.html" file.
Here's what the directory structure should look like in the final build
product:
TheApp.app --> Contents --> Resources --> English.lproj --> Help Folder
--> index.html
But when it's under another localization, I want it to be:
TheApp.app --> Contents --> Resources --> Japanes.lproj --> Help Folder
--> index.html
So is there a way to manually set the final path or name of a file so
that it forces Xcode to use the required directory structure so that I
can localize my help files? I just can't seem to coerce Xcode to do
that.
