Xcode 4: Framework localization not working
I am developing my own framework using Xcode 4, and I'm using it in two sample apps (a console on开发者_如何转开发e, and a Mac OS X Cocoa application).
I'm trying to add localization to the framework, so I've created two versions of a Localizable.strings
file (en and fr versions), but every time I'm trying to print a localized string from the sample apps, I only get its technical name. For example, with the following line inside the framework's code:
NSLog(NSLocalizedString(@"LOC_TEST", nil));
I only get "LOC_TEST"
displayed in the output...
Localization works fine with the Cocoa app itself however (meaning the Cocoa app's localized strings are shown appropriately).
Following this article, I have tried to add localizations in the framework's plist file:
<key>CFBundleLocalizations</key>
<array>
<string>en</string>
<string>fr</string>
</array>
But it didn't change anything...
What am I missing?
The cause for not picking a right .strings file by framework is in NSLocalizedString
macro:
#define NSLocalizedString(key, comment) [[NSBundle mainBundle] localizedStringForKey:(key) value:@"" table:nil]
Framework's location of .strings file is not [NSBundle mainBundle]
as specified in macro.
From what I see, you'd need to use NSLocalizedStringFromTableInBundle
instead and specify your framework's bundle location.
The accepted answer is correct, NSLocalizedString will not work as it using [NSBundle mainBundle]
so I am using this macro in my framework
#define LOCALIZED_STRING(key) [[NSBundle bundleForClass:[self class]] localizedStringForKey:(key) value:@"" table:nil]
The "technical name" as you call it is actually a Key. Your .strings files will look something like:
/* no comment */ "LOC_TEST" = "LOC_TEST";
In en.lproj/Localizable.strings, replace the second LOC_TEST (the one after the =) with your English string. Do the same in fr.lproj with your French text.
example:
put it in your .m file:
#ifndef NSFrameworkLocalizedStrings
#define NSFrameworkLocalizedStrings(key) \
NSLocalizedStringFromTableInBundle(key, @"YOUR_BUNDLE_NAME", [NSBundle bundleWithPath:[[[NSBundle frameworkBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"YOUR_BUNDLE_NAME.bundle"]], nil)
#endif
and use this method:
+ (NSBundle *)frameworkBundle {
static NSBundle* frameworkBundle = nil;
static dispatch_once_t predicate;
dispatch_once(&predicate, ^{
frameworkBundle = [NSBundle bundleForClass:[self class]];
});
//NSLog(@"frameworkBundle %@",frameworkBundle);
return frameworkBundle;
}
