Update Localizable.strings file Runtime in iPhone

Question

I want to update or replace Localizable.strings Runtime. i have .strings files on server. so if any one can update .strings files on server. then also i need to update value or replace into bundle.

or

can i read .strings file form server directly? and make all static string localized.

Sure you can. You have to roll your own.

If you look at the NSLocalizableString macro, you can make your own like :

RMLocalizableString that instead of pointing to the resources, points to a file you have downloaded in your documentation folder. But of course you have to make sure the file is actually there.

@RomitMewada: Take a look at the definition of `NSLocalizableString()`, it's self-documenting. – Jonathan Grynspan Oct 03 '12 at 12:37
#define NSLocalizedString(key, comment) \ [[NSBundle mainBundle] localizedStringForKey:(key) value:@"" table:nil] – Trausti Thor Oct 03 '12 at 13:05
But of course you can just make this into your own method, from database or whatever you think of – Trausti Thor Oct 03 '12 at 13:06
But you can't use NSLocalizedString unless the file is called Localizable.string and is included in your product at compile time – Trausti Thor Oct 03 '12 at 13:06
no i don't wants to inculde Localizable.strings file into my project. read out side from project. – Romit M. Oct 03 '12 at 13:08
Yes you need to roll your own, as I explained – Trausti Thor Oct 03 '12 at 14:28
