Correct way to remove ONE localization

Question

Seeing as the sv_SE localization doesn't take effect on the iPhone Simulator, but sv does (with the same language settings set to Swedish (language AND region), I would now like to remove the sv_SE localization to keep things proper.

What's the correct way to do this?

Do I really have to Remove All Localizations and re-do the translation work for the XIBs, as there seems no other way to do it in the Info window?

Mark localization in resources and delete? Delete folder/.lproj? Which is correct?

Answer 1

Xcode 3.2: expand localizable file subtree in left pane (files & groups). Then delete the unwanted localization. You probably want to click "Also move to trash" button.

Xcode 4: select the file, show utilities sidebar (the right one), pick the "show file inspector" button. There is a section with localizations. Select the unwanted one, click minus (-) button. Confirm. Or do it like in Xcode 3.2 deleting the localization from the project navigator. , it's up to you.

Xcode 5: works like Xcode 4.

If you remove all localizations (by mistake for instance) you can add the lproj folders to the project. You don't need to make one by one localizable again.

Tip: better you commit your work, experiment, if your changes doesn't work checkout the previous version and try again.
