Making multi-language ios app [closed]

Tags:

I need to build an app which will be multilingual. For instance, the app will be released in France and the Netherlands. The user needs to select a language when the app first start for the first time. Is there an easier way to do this? In Xcode I saw something about localizations. Does this have anything to do with it?

How iOS determines the language for your app?

Q: How does iOS determine the language for my app? A: To determine the language for your app, iOS considers not only the order of the user language preferences (in General > Language & Region of the Settings application) but also the localizations your app declares it supports.

How does localization work in iOS?

Localization is the process of making your app support other languages. In many cases, you make your app with English user interface first and then localize the app to other languages such as Japanese. The process of localization is tedious, and steps of it change little by little as XCode gets updated.
