How to localize my app with Xcode 4?

Question

I just updated to Xcode 4.

Normally when localizing apps we add "Localizable.String" file to the project, and then navigate to "Get Info" menu and click the "Make It Localized" button.

However, in Xcode 4, there is no "Get Info" menu.

When I try to add a language it only effects the "InfoPlist.String" file (wich can only localize the app's name).

How may I add localization to my app in Xcode 4?

Answer 1

You can view the file info (and add localizations) when you select the file and open the "File Inspector" via the main menu's "View" -> "Utilities" -> "File Inspector".

Answer 2

You can take advanced of the User Defined Runtime Attributes:

First define a new category for UILabel:

#import "UILabel+Localized.h"

@implementation UILabel (Localized)
-(void) setTextLocalized:(NSString *)aText{
     [self setText:NSLocalizedString(aText, nil)];
}
@end

Then in the interface builder, User Defined Runtime Attributes :

textLocalized String your string to localized

And you don't need to declare the IBOutlet, and don't need code this in the ViewDidLoad [testLabel setText:NSLocalizedString(@"TEST", nil)];
