My searches came up with hints as to how to add a directory/folder as
localized resource (ie placed in the bundle .lproj(s)), but no
specific directions on how to do it. In particular, I was adding a
help folder to Resources that I wanted copied as a directory in the
bundle .lproj directories. So, here is what I did which worked for me:
1. Create the directory in the "English.lproj" directory, then add
the files/subdirectories to it. Or simply copy in the directory from
somewhere else. If the native language for the documents are not
English, then the directory should be put in the appropriate ".lproj".
2. Control-click the "Resouces" directory in the Xcode project and
then select "Add" and then "Existing Files...".
3. The above should bring a up a file selection window. Navigate to
the ".lproj" directory used in step 1 and select only the directory
you just created there.
4. Next another dialog will come up. Here you select two things.
First, you must select the "Create Folder References for any added
folders" button. Second, you should only select the Targets that
apply to the generated Application Bundles/Frameworks (ie you might
want to deselect any unit tests if this is not applicable to them).
5. That should be it. You should now see the folder and its files/
subdirectories added to the Resouces Group and under the appropriate
language and Get Info will allow you to add other localizations to
the directory. Although I have not tried it, the documentation states
that when you add a new language localization, xcode will
automatically copy your directory that you just added to the new
".lproj" directory.
Not being an xcode expert, my questions are:
a) Is this corrent way of going about doing this?
b) If not, could you explain the proper way?
Thank you for your time/help.
