Does IB not allow one to specify a localized key for components that display text instead of hardcoding the value? For instance, if you want a UILabel to display internationalized text is the only way to do this via code? Seems like such a PITA to have to set all your label text in code when you have a nice WYSIWYG editor like IB. I think I had this feature back in VB5!
You actually don’t normally need to write any code to localize your Interface Builder user interface (Xibs). What you do is create localized versions of these Xibs, with the help of XCode. In your XCode project, select a Xib, open the File Inspector (it’s in the Utilities panel) and you’ll see a Localization section in there. Click the + button and XCode will create a version for the language of your choice, which you can then localize by translating the text as well as resizing UI elements or do anything else you like.
