localizationmacosxcode
I've just made an application in Xcode, and I'm trying to localize it. I right-clicked (Ctrl-clicked) my .xib and clicked 'Get info'. I added Dutch to the list of localizations and Xcode made copied my .xib file. Do I need to change the .xib file for every single localization when I make an adjustment? Or is there another way to do it?
Thanks in advance.
You have to type it every time. This is unfortunately hard-coded into Xcode. As best I can tell, they hard-coded it in DevToolsCore (a private framework that Xcode uses, and one of the usual suspects for hard-coded strings).
What's funny is that Xcode even notes this new entry in the project file (look for "knownRegions"). It just doesn't use it for the drop-down.
I recommend opening a radar.
I've had this error many times. While TechZen's answer is absolutely right in this case, another common cause is when you change the name of a IBOutlet property in your .h/.m which you've already connected up to File's Owner in the nib.
From your nib:
Under 'Referencing Outlets' make sure that your object isn't still connected to the old property name... if it is, click the small 'x' to delete the reference and build again.
Another common cause if you are using Storyboard, your UIButton might have more then one assignings (Solution is almost the same as for nib):
You will see that there is more than one assign/ref to this button. Remove one of the "Main..." greyed windows with the small "x":

You can use
ibtoolto apply incremental changes to the localised XIBs without messing up any of the translation, or existing layout changes you've made to accommodate the different text lengths. Look particularly for the--localize-incrementaloption.
