Re: how to find a .strings file?

If you search your projects from Xcode, it will find matches inside of ".strings" files. That requires you to have your strings files referenced from projects of course, and for you to search all projects separately.

On that topic: UTF16 is, as you've noted, somewhat difficult to deal with, and we therefore recommend that you store the strings files in your project as UTF8. Mac OS X still requires strings files in your product to be encoded in UTF16, but Xcode manages that for you by converting them to UTF16 when they're copied over to the build product as part of the build.
