Question

Given the name of a Property attribute of an NSManagedObject and a Model.strings file in the application bundle, how do you retrieve the property’s localized name?

Additional Details:
When I try to access the localizationDictionary, as below, that object is nil. I’m in Snow Leopard, so the documentation’s warning that it may return nil until used should not apply.

NSString *localized = [[managedObjectModel localizationDictionary]
                       objectForKey:@"Property/thePropertyName"];

Update 2/25/2012 (almost a year later)

I think this turned out to be a bug in Snow Leopard (or at least that particular version). Now, a year later and running Lion, the code above works).

Answer 1

The link you shared tells you how to access the localized property name:

NSString *localizedPropertyName = [[managedObjectModel localizationDictionary] objectForKey:@"Property/thePropertyName"];
