Question

I wonder if anyone has encountered the same problem and how they solve it.

I want to localize Default.png so I do the following steps which from what I understand should be the correct way (please correct me if I’m wrong).

1. Select Default.png in xcode
2. Command-I to Get Info
3. Click on Make File Localizable
4. Go back to General Tab (why Apple, why?)
5. Click on Add Localization
6. Enter es for Spanish according to this:
7. In finder I replace the Default.png in the es.lproj folder

I have tried in both the simulator and on an iPhone with changing the language between English and Spanish, but I only get the original file. Other localizations like app name and strings works just fine, but not this one…

I’m on xcode 3.2.3

Thanks

I got this solution from Developers Forum (credit to Sascha Paulus, thanks Sascha!).

I had a similar problem in another project with localization, but the solution worked for both issues.

Here we go:

1. Delete App from Simulator (just to be sure)

2. Delete all versions of the localized Default.png (in XCode & on Disc)

3. Select Build > Clean All Targets

4. If not done yet, make the Localizion Directories (e.g. es.lproj, de.lproj)

5. Copy the localized Default.png in the appropriate Localizion Directory

6. Go To XCode > Right Mouse Click on Resources > Add > Existing File …
7. Select the localized Default.png in the Localizion Directory
8. Don’t forget to mark “Copy items into destination group’s folder….” > Add
9. Repeat it with every localized Default.png

I think the trick is to delete the file you have a problem with, clean all and then add it again. If you don’t have any localization there is no need to create a specific folder.

Give it a try, worked for me.
