Dear programmers,

I am creating a customLabel class like below:

@interface CustomLabel : UILabel {
    NSString *customBundlePath;
}

@implementation CustomLabel

- (void)drawTextInRect:(CGRect)rect
{
   NSString *result=[self getLocalvalue:self.text];
   [result drawInRect:rect withFont:self.font];
}

-(void)awakeFromNib
{
  NSLog(@"%@",self.text);
}

-(NSString *)getLocalvalue:(NSString*)textTolocalize
{

  // some code
  return localizedText;
}

But my problem is, drawTextInRect method calling only once for a Label at the time of nib loading.

If view is Appearing again by popig, then which method will execute for every customLabel object ?

Please help me out. Thanks, in advance.

You don't need custom classes.

NSString *someTextString = NSLocalizedString(@"SomeText", @"Description of text for translators")
[myLabel setText:someTextString];

Then you can extract the strings from your files and provide proper localization texts.

  • I have already done by this way, but in my Application i have nearly more than 1000 labels for localization. Instead of writing everywhere this much code, i need to reduce my code redundancy by referencing each label by CustomLabel class dear Javy. – Loquatious Nov 30 '11 at 12:22
  • How are you planning to get the localized text strings? – TigerCoding Nov 30 '11 at 12:57
