Does Apple provide an index of localized terms that it uses?

Question

Does Apple provide developers a set of standard terms in differing languages? The reason why I ask is that I'm having portions of my application localized and want standard terminology consistently applied throughout the app. I have utilized some tactics to do this with terms like 'Loading...' by changing the language on my device and observing how Apple has interpreted those terms in other languages. This has only gotten me so far however, and a resource that I can give a translator would go a long way in creating a seamless experience with the consistent application of terminology.

Answer 1

At WWDC this year I went to the Localization Lab to get an answer to this question, since a bona fide answer from Apple was needed.

From one of their head cheeses in localization he told me that currently there are not any publicly available resources for download for iOS or Snow Leopard. He did tell me, though, that these resources were slated for release in the coming weeks after WWDC.

This answer will be updated when the information becomes available.

UPDATE 19 JUN 2012: Wow, it has been a whole year now! Obviously Apple didn't come through for us 'in a few weeks'. I did talk to them again this year and was given a contact to follow up with via email. I explained that they made a claim to have it last year and this was the response I got:

I did check with the documentation folks and found that they're still planning on doing this but it's fallen behind other priorities. If you haven't already done so, would you mind filing a bug report about this? That's one of the best ways to convey the desire to the appropriate people. While I've relayed this feedback to some people it's always best to have a bug report directly from folks outside of Apple. Feel free to forward me the bug number and I'll keep an eye on it.

Our best bet at this point is to keep filling bug reports so that this gets more attention. Just for the record, I did file a bug report last year.
