iOS Launch Screen

Steps taken to unofficially localize:

1. Create a new InfoPlist.strings file
2. Add the following line to that file:

UILaunchStoryboardName = "LaunchScreen";

3. Localize InfoPlist.strings using the property inspector
4. Create a new LaunchScreen_de.storyboard (for German) alongside the existing LaunchScreen.storyboard
5. Edit the InfoPlist.strings (German) file so it points to this German Launch Screen:

UILaunchStoryboardName = "LaunchScreen_de";

2. Stackoverflow post
3. Apple HIG: Launch Screen — "Avoid including text on your launch screen. Because launch screens are static, any displayed text won’t be localized."

Possible solution — un-tested and a bit old (2013).
