Filed report: Enable localization for prefpane bundle used with the System Preferences app Product: Mac OS X Version/Build Number: 10C540 Classification: Feature (New) Is It Reproducible?: Always
Summary: When creating a preference pane bundle for System Preferences.app with localizations for languages other than Mac OSX built in localization languages (http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html), but which are in System Preferences : Language & Text : Language: Edit list... the correct language is not loaded, although it is in the first position in System Preferences : Language & Text : Language : Drag languages into order you prefer field. Steps to Reproduce: 1) Open System Preferences : Language & Text : Language 2) Set languages in "Drag languages into order you prefer" field as follows: Latvian, English, German. 3) Create a new system preference project Foo in Xcode 4) English localization is set automatically 5) Add "Latvian" or "lv" localization for InfoPlist.strings 6) Add "German" or "de" localization for InfoPlist.strings 7) Add "Latvian" or "lv" localization for FooPref.xib 8) Add "German" or "de" localization for FooPref.xib 9) Open FooPref.xib in Interface Builder 10) For each localization in PrefPane Window add a NSTextField (i.e. Text Field). 11) In each localization set title for NSTextField, i.e., for English "This is text in English", for Latvian "This is text in Latvian", for German "This is text in German". 12) Save xib and build the project. 13) Install preference pane 14) The English localization opens text field shows "This is text in English"). 15) In System Preferences : Language & Text : Language: Drag languages into order you prefer field drag German to second place (Latvian, German, English) 16) Quit and reopen System Preferences.app and open Foo preference pane 17) The German localization opens (text field shows "This is text in German"). 18) Although in all situations Latvian was the first language, the next language that is Mac OSX localization language opens. Expected Results: Any X language that is available through System Preferences : Language & Text : Language: Edit list... should be loaded in system preference pane, if the preference pane is localized for it and X language is in the first position in System Preferences : Language & Text : Language: Drag languages into order you prefer field. Actual Results: See together with "Steps to Reproduce" For X language that is available through System Preferences : Language & Text : Language: Edit list... a localization for a preference pane bundle is made. The language is in the first position of System Preferences : Language & Text : Language: Drag languages into order you prefer field. The localization of the language isn't loaded when opening preference pane in System Preferences.app Regression: Tested on multiple macs (including intel core duo, intel core 2 duo, macbook, macbookpro, imac) running OSX 10.6.2. both after clean install and upgrade install from 10.5. Notes: There is no problem localizing "standalone" Cocoa based applications in Latvian language using methods used above. Adding source code for Foo preference pane.
