if I understand you correctly you are developing an Italian only
app, right? No intentions to localize this into any other
language. In that case use "Remove all Localizations" in Xcode's
Info Window for your InfoPlist.strings and Main.nib and what have
you. That way you will get a "no language" app with all nibs and
plists contained directly in the resources folder. The Finder will
show an empty list of languages in it's Get Info window.
Thank you Horst.
What you say is right and I'll probably do what you (and Ondra
Cada) suggest.
But let's suppose (for future projects) I'd like to start with the
Italian localization and then later, maybe, add other languages.
What should I do?
Ciao,
Paolo.
Hi Paolo,
you can always make up your mind about making you app localizable.
Simply use the same info windows to make the parts that require
localization (L10N for short) localizable. You'll get your Italian
resources in an English.lproj folder. You can then change that to
Italian.lproj...
But, L10N requires a few things prior to that: Internationalization
(I18N for short) sometimes tagged Globalization of your apps code.
See http://developer.apple.com/intl/ for more info on that topic. You
need to cover things like date, time formatting, storing strings
outside of your code in localizable.strings, and things like cultural
differences (e.g. 4 is a un-lucky number in most of Asia), formatting
of addresses differs, page sizes, bla bla bla.
Also, I'd highly recommend localizing your app into English first,
before you go about localizing into any other language. Almost all
localization companies work off of English resources. English is a
kind of least common denominator when it comes to computers.
HTH,
Horst
