Here’s an obscure problem. I’m using an InfoPlist.strings to localize my app name. It’s only got one value: CFBundleDisplayName = "Mon App". The strings file is localized (putting it in a directory for that localization).

I’ve just made an extra target, where I change things like the non-localized app name (different Info.plists), and the icon. I’m also changing the Default.png using a run script build phase (copying different files depending on the app type I’m building).

I’ve tried using the script to copy different versions of my InfoPlist.strings, but I couldn’t make it work. Here’s what I used:

if($TARGET_NAME == "MonApp")then
cp fr.lproj/MonApp_InfoPlist.strings fr.lproj/InfoPlist.strings
endif

I’ve seen a post suggesting wincent strings util for processing strings, but wanted to see if there’s an easy way to do this. Any help greatly appreciated.

    You don’t need to do this.

    If you have fr.lprog/InfoPlist.strings and en.lproj/InfoPlist.strings in your project, you should see just one InfoPlist.strings entry, with two subitems fr and en. If you drag and drop the InfoPlist.strings file into a Copy Bundle Resources build phase, all localized versions will be copied into the appropriate .lproj files at build time. You don’t need to create a separate target or write a script to do this; the right thing happens.
