Danish localization broken in iOS 8?

Question

I've seen other threads about the simulator, but I'm experiencing a 90% break which is nothing short of miraculous.

Our app is localized in 5 languages. All of them work perfectly, except Danish.

Only certain words are translated, even though all of them use the shortcut "NSLocalizedString". Also, the BarButtonSystemItem "Back" and "Cancel" both work.

The symptoms are exactly the same in the simulator, device, iOS 7 & 8. I've also tried both "Danish" (da) and "Danish (Denmark)" (da-DK) in different combinations.

Is anybody else experiencing weird localization issues like this?

Answer 1

I knew it would be a stupid bug, but this one takes the prize.

In the danish Localizable.strings file, an EMPTY ROW had a SPACE CHARACTER in it.

I'm not kidding.

This made the app find all the translations up to the space character, then nothing after it... OMG what a stupid parsing error bug from Apple.

File a bug anyone? facepalm
