Xcode 3.1 localization: If I change the interface, do I need to change this for each localization??

Question

Hello!

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 can use ibtool to 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-incremental option.
