Question

Currently the way I store strings is by using Localizable.strings,
for example

English:

"URL" = "http://google.com";

Spanish:

"URL" = "http://google.com";

As you can see I have the same string for both languages, is there a way I can use something similar to localizable.strings (loads automatically, compatible with any language/localization) without having to write the same key/value in both files? And then retrieve the value using a method? ( NSGetstring(“URL”) )

Perhaps you can store the key/value pairs in a plist and read that into your code. Like this:

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
NSString *finalPath = [path stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"myList.plist"];
plistDictionary = [[NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:finalPath] retain];

Just store your information in the plist, then access it like you would any other dicitonary item:

NSLog(@"URL: %@", [plistDictionary objectForKey:@"URL"]);
