Setting default language

Question

I would like to see default button captions in my native language ,

Even I changed iPad's language to another lang. my app still shows English ones...Edit,Done,Save etc.

I also set CFBundleDevelopmentRegion as a User-Defined variable in XCode but not helped !

Can you help ?

Answer 1

You should make these things:

• Add your native language to app's supported Localization array of languages;

• Make your Application.Main procedure looks like:

    static void Main (string[] args)
    {
        // if you want to use a different Application Delegate class from "AppDelegate"
        // you can specify it here.
        NSUserDefaults.StandardUserDefaults.SetValueForKey(NSArray.FromStrings("tr"), new NSString("AppleLanguages"));
        NSUserDefaults.StandardUserDefaults.Synchronize();
        UIApplication.Main (args, null, "AppDelegate");
    }

Then, this

turns to this

(I suggested that your language is turkish.)

For monotouch I think it is different, They hide some langs for reducing the size of IPA.
