Oh yeah, they already have the documentation with the screen shots in english...

Well I have worked with companies in the past who "supposedly" knew how to work with nibs, and the screwed them all up for us. I really don't want any body near the nibs, but me :) Just want to save myself a lot of work.

Yes I understand that. I will have to modify/resize the UI once I have the strings in there. But the people who we are sending the strings out to be localized do not know anything about IB, so I don't want to confuse them or have them screw anything up. Once the strings have been localized we will go back and look a the UI and modify the sizes, alignment, etc. of the UI elements. I just thought there was an easy way to get the text out and put it back in the UI elements. I guess I will change the code to read all the strings from the .strings file, and we can send that out, and not have to worry about that part.


But at a minimum, the localizers will also need screenshots. If you simply extract text out of the nibs, they'll be no contextual clues to aid in translation.

That's why it's always preferable to work with a company that knows how to work with nibs.
