When I create a localization for fr-CA and then switch my iPad to use

  • 0

When I create a localization for fr-CA and then switch my iPad to use that language and region, it still uses my English localizable.strings file. If I just create an fr localization and switch the iPad, however, it works fine. Any ideas on what might be going wrong? Are my settings on the iPad correct (see screenshot)? Any other suggestions?

    From:https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPInternational/Articles/LanguageDesignations.html

    Under “Language and Locale IDs” it says the following:

    Important In iOS, the bundle interfaces do not take dialect or script
    information into account when looking for localized resources; only
    the language designator code is considered. Therefore if your project
    includes language-specific project directories with both a language
    and region designator, those directories are ignored. The bundle
    interfaces in OS X do support region designators in language-specific
    project directories.
