In android we have files by name String. Developers define the string values that they used for naming objects in this file. This is a very useful way.

    In XCode, you’ll find File/New File, then on the left, pick “Resource”, and you’ll find “Strings File”.

    From code, you’ll be referencing the keys in your strings file with NSLocalizedString:

    NSLog("%@", NSLocalizedString(@"YOUR-STRING-KEY-OR-DEFAULT-VALUE", @"Comment about what this is"));

    For details on what that second param is for, What is the second parameter of NSLocalizedString()?
