I am writing an application that will be delivered with some data already present in it. The application will manage data using core data. The problem is I don't know how to localize text present in the data. Since it's not embedded in application source code, i cannot jus use localized strings.
does anyone have suggestions? Thank you.

Who says you can't ? You can pass *any* string to NSLocalizedString (), whether it's from your data dictionary or elsewhere.


 But that's not really an optimal solution. What kind of data is this?

In many cases it makes sense to just have a different version of the file containing this data for each localisation. Unless there is a lot of non-localised data in the file that would be duplicated. Another alternative is to make your file format itself localisable, or to have placeholders and replace these with localised data if it's e.g. a template document.

 I'm just guessing here, you're not telling us enough to go by.
