snippet.m

//iOS Internationalization using NSLocalizedString()

//1. use NSLocalizedString() (even if you don’t care about internationalization right away)
//2. open a Terminal, go into the folder that contains the actual source files
//3. type command :genstrings *.m -o en.lproj 
//4. above command add a new file called Localizable.strings in the en.lproj folder
//5. add Localizable.strings file to the project in Xcode (ex : Supporting Files group)
//6. in the File Inspector, add a localization for this file (in this case Dutch)
//7. Change the translations in the Localizable.strings


//use NSLocalizedString()
- (NSString *)kindForDisplay {
    if ([self.kind isEqualToString:@"album"]) {
        return NSLocalizedString(@"Album", @"Localized kind: Album");
    } else if ([self.kind isEqualToString:@"ebook"]) {
        return NSLocalizedString(@"E-Book", @"Localized kind: E-Book");
    } else {
        return self.kind;
    }
}


//Change the translations in the Localizable.strings
"Album" = "Album";
"E-Book" = "E-Boek";


//that's it!
