I was inspired by the "localizing help files" thread (for which I
don't know the answer) to ask: is there a solution already in existence
for localizing about files? To be specific: each of my apps ships with
an about file like "About Constrictor.rtf". Now I've started doing
localization work, so I've got a Japanese version of the file. Right
now my solution is simply to name the Japanese file "About
Constrictor(JP).rtf" and have both files visible at the top level of my
.dmg. However, once I've got a French version, a Spanish version, etc.
of the file, this will obviously begin to break down.
I'm sorely tempted to write a simple TextEdit knockoff that can
contain all of my localized About files within the bundle of an
application, and simply displays the proper about file to the user in a
non-editable window. Then there would be just one double-clickable
About Constrictor.app, and the user would have a simple model once
again. However, this seems like such a simple thing to do that I feel
sure somebody has already done it. Anybody? If I don't hear from
somebody very soon, I'll be posting a URL to the solution shortly. ;->
You mean like writing a ReadMe.rtf file, put in English.lproj and
Japanese.lproj and just use the defautl About panel ?
If you don't want to use the default About Panel, you can still keep
your rtf or rtfd file in the appropriate Resources folder and use the
[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"ReadMe" ofType:"@rtf"]; to get
the path and then read the file in a NSTextView.
