Alan hi,
That may be the solution, but I have no idea how to create a valid .lproj
folder within a Livecode app.
I’ve checked other iOS apps {facebook, evernote, etc.}.
They have more than hundred of .lproj folders
and each of those folders contain two files:
Localizable.strings and InfoPlist.strings.
But both of them seem to binary-encoded such as:
6270 6c69 7374 3030 df11 0361 0001 0002
How can we replicate them, what’s the actual structure; does anyone know?
And most importantly, is this the way?
I’m not trying to localize the native-to-Livecode objects, rather native-to-iOS
controls like browser or externals.
Trying to make Livecode comply the user’s System-Wide Language Choice.
Thanks,
~ Ender

Hi Ender
Have you tried creating folders for each of the languages that you want to
support and add them to the project using the copy folder tab in standalone
settings?
The folder names are of the form:
tr.lproj (for turkish - I think!)
de.lproj (for german)
en.lproj (for english)
etc
HTH.
cheers
Alan
