Question

How do I use NSLocalizedString in this case when I have a header where I define a few parameters, say:

#define appKey @"appKey1 is: %@"

I think I know that my Localizable.strings should look like that:

"blabla" = "appKey1 is: %@"

but how do I use NSLocalizedString? I read that I need to use stringWithFormat, but not sure how…

thanks!

You would define your constant as:

#define appKey NSLocalizedString(@"appKey1 is: %@", @"appkey constant")

Then it should get picked up by the genstrings tool in the usual way.

In the strings file it would then come out like this:

/* appkey constant */
"appKey1 is: %@" = "appKey1 is: %@";

And you would translate just the right hand side.
