Something else entirely?

I create mine manually while I'm writing code, because I like to organize my
.strings files to match the organization of my code files.

That brings up another question I forgot to ask.

Do people generally just inline NSLocalizedString(@"blah", @"blah comment) as necessary, or define them someplace

#define BLAH_STRING NSLocalizedString(@"blah", @"blah comment)

(I'm used to defines/constants for STR# stuff in carbon, but this is a sort of different beast. Still it is sometimes easier to have a string local to where you use it, and sometimes convenient for them to be all in one place.)

Since genstrings only collates duplicate strings in one file it seems the define/constant route will minimize effort during localization for strings that tend to be reused.

So what do people with large cocoa apps tend to do? (As a point of reference it looks like the Omni frameworks just use the macros inline as necessary.)
