Hi folks,
It seems that no matter the user’s localization settings {choice of interface
or keyboard language} are,
Livecode apps’ native-to-iOS controls use English.
Example:
User’s iPhone is set to Turkish but the mobile browser instance within my
Livecode app which loads a local pdf shows “2 of 163” as page numbers.
So was the mergPop external of Monte, the options are: Save Image, Assign to
Contact, Add to Reading List, etc.
I was editing the Settings.plist files to overcome this problem:
<key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key> <string>English</string>
to
<key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key> <string>Turkish</string>
That changes the pdf page numbers to “2 / 163”
and mergPop’s options to: Görüntüyü Kaydet, Kişiye Ata, Okuma Listesine Ekle,
...
So far so good, because nearly all my clients’ target audience are Turkish.
But in fact, this is an awful workaround because now it’s only in Turkish no
matter in what language the device is used.
Mine is all in English, for example; yet, if I open Safari, I see an English
menu but if I open one of my apps, I see Turkish entries.
And worse of all, there is no way that I can develop a multilanguage, truly
localized app.
Changing native-to-Livecode fields, buttons, etc. is easy; but how can I update
the native-to-iOS entries like mobile browser’s or externals’ ?
What I need is, my Livecode app reads the system language and reflects it to
the native-to-iOS options/entries/menus, etc.
Is there a way to accomplish this, maybe an entry as follows:
<key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key> <string>${SYSTEM_BUNDLE_REGION}</string>
That string is totally pseudo, btw :)
Thanks for any insights…
Best,
~ Ender
