Where can I find my Localizeable.strings file?

I created a View-Based project in 开发者_如何学编程Xcode, but I find no Localizeable.strings file for doing my localization. Must I run genstrings first to create this? Or did I do something wrong?

You need to declare all your localizable text with NSLocalizedString before running genstrings will produce anything useful.

I would recommend declaring all your text definitions with NSLocalizedString instead of inside Interface Builder XIBs as it is easier to get a text file translated than a XIB file.

Just make sure to allow 50% more space than you need for your English strings, as English is generally more concise.

Yes, genstrings creates the Localizeable.strings file. You can run it from the command line like this:

genstrings Classes/*.m

I found this tutorial to be helpful.

Indeed, you must run generate strings,

ibtool --generate-strings-file Example.strings en.lpoj/Example.xib
