Hey Jean -

If you need to work with source nibs in your built product, you can unset the value of "Flatten Compiled XIB files"In your Xcode Target's build settings. It's in the "Interface Builder Compiler" section.

Good Luck -
Jon Hess

But in Xcode 3, ibtool says that it cannot extract strings from a compiled xib file (a flat nib file), so i cannot localize the generated application.

I believe the operative phrase is "a COMPILED xib file (a flat nib file)." The NIB that results from compilation does not include the supporting information that makes it possible to edit it. The error message from ibtool is "Interface Builder cannot open COMPILED nibs." My experiment with "ibtool --generate-stringsfile" on a .xib file extracted strings just fine.


Your workflow of generating strings _from your compiled application_ no longer works because the editing information is no longer present. You have your own .xib files (don't you?). Why not use them?

Because i'm using a tool that rely on this workflow (iLocalize). "Localization Suite" (an other tool) does not even recognize xib files. If someone know a good localization tool (with incremental localization and glossary support) that support xib, I will be happy to try it.
Until then, i will "refactor" my workflow and do my own "shell script based" localization suite ;-).
