Is it possible to have different image for different language for Splash screen in iPhone ?

Hello

I don't think you can know the location (or langage) of the user without asking him.

And I don't think either there is an option in .plist which enabled you this feature ^^

Maybe the solution is to do different app depending the country xD
But if it's just about the splash screen... try avoiding text ?

Good Luck !

Yes Vinzius you are right, thanks for your info.

You can localize the Default.png file like you would localize any other. That way, depending on the device language the appropriate Default.png is used.

Might I add, that splash screens are highly dissuaded in the HIG, your Default.png should look like the first screen to give the illusion your app starts up faster. I haven't heard of apps being rejected due to a splash screen on the other hand.

Edit

You can not add some kind of custom behavior which decides which Default.png to use. Either you localize the file or you use a Default.png with no text in it.

Yes Yannick its true, but i think apple should provide this facility just like how they allow different images for devices like iPhone 3g, iPhone 4 and iPad by using prefix and postfix in the filename.

That's the point, you can have different images for different languages even in combination with retina versions. Don't really know what you mean?

But we cannot have similarly for default.png right ?
RVN
Sure you can, I haven't tested it, but I'm sure you can have both a normal and retina version of the Default.png image per language.

That sounds good, i will search for the solution and if i get any will post it here, and if you have any please let me know.
