iPhone localization for xib files

Question

I am just getting familiar with the localization of xib files and was wondering if there's a way of localizing the strings within the xib by refering to the plists directly...

Appreciate some thoughts..

Answer 1

If you don't want to localize the .xib files directly, you can extract the text they contain into .strings files and, once the .strings files are translated, inject them back into your .xib file to produce localized versions. These extract/inject operations are done using the ibtool utility.

I found detailed instructions on how to do this on this website.
