What controls the languages shown as supported in an iPhone app's iTunes page (in the right side, below "Description", under "Languages")? From the iTunes Connect Developer's Guide it appears it's not something you choose during submission. I assume it's something in the bundle.

A:
You don’t have to specify anything in iTunes Connect. They seem to scan the contents of the bundle and look at the localization subdirectories: I’ve got en.lproj, nl.lproj, and de.lproj in my app and iTunes lists "English, Dutch and German" as supported languages.

What if you don't do localization like that, can you just add empty directories? Do you know if there's any official spec that says this is how it works and there's no other way?

@crackers: Sorry, I don’t know about that. I’m not sure if it is a good idea to do localization in a different way, since iPhone OS wouldn’t let the user select his preferred language for the app then.

The problem is that the cost to experiment is high, with the whole store submission process. Maybe I could get more info by asking Apple directly (yeah, right). BTW, the app handles its own settings, so it's not a problem in this regard. Thanks for the help!
