Is it possible to have my app running in a different language than the one that is set in the OS? I want to have a language switch in my app’s setting menu, where the user can e.g. select german for the app, while his system is running in english.
From what I’ve already read, it seems it’s not possible without having my own localization mechanism…
What do you think?
You need to implement your custom resource loading mechanism to achieve that. For example you will no longer be able to use NSLocalizedString macro or [NSBundle pathForResource:]. You will always have to specify paths including the localization (as in de.lproj/MyStrings.strings instead of just MyStrings.strings). I would suggest against doing this unless absolutely necessary.
