I'm localizing my iOS app and having difficulty translating strings in the mergSettings extension for LiveCode. I setup a new folder - ja.lproj. Then, I made a new file called "Localizable.strings" inside of that folder. I then created "key" = "value"; pairs. I loaded the app and the strings were not translated.

Any ideas on what to try next? Monte?

The settings bundle has it's own localized resources folders so ja.lproj needs to be inside Settings.bundle. Also I'm assuming when you loaded the app the locale was set to ja?

EDIT

The file should be named Root.strings

  • Yes, I put ja.lproj in Settings.bundle. What's the difference between locale and language? I changed language to JA, but I don't know how to change locale? – Todd Little Mar 15 '13 at 17:23
  • Hmm... that should change it. Are you seeing the same thing in Settings.app as InAppSettingsKit? – Monte Goulding Mar 15 '13 at 19:41
  • I see just the English settings InAppSettingsKit and the Settings.app. Here's a screenshot if that helps. [Screenshot](https://www.dropbox.com/s/jx64gjw667tp3c6/Settings_JA%20test.png) – Todd Little Mar 15 '13 at 20:24
  • Ah, sorry I didn't pick this up earlier the file should be named Root.strings – Monte Goulding Mar 15 '13 at 20:31
  • Changed the name to Root.strings in the ja.lproj subfolder. I tested on simulator and device with same result. When I initially opened the Root.strings in en.lproj there were only 4 lines of code: ` "Group" = "Group"; "Name" = "Name"; "none given" = "none given"; "Enabled" = "Enabled";` So I added the rest of the string pairs from the ja.lproj>Roots.string file with the appropriate english pair. Could it be a problem in the Root.plist if the string pairs were not automatically generated? – Todd Little Mar 15 '13 at 21:14
  • Hmm... I'm not sure what's going on. Can you email me the Settings.bundle – Monte Goulding Mar 15 '13 at 21:26
