Obtaining localized strings for a particular language

Question

I am trying to obtain localized strings for the English language (in en.lproj/Localizable.strings) for use as default values when the localized string for the user's preferred language is not found.

I want to pass in that default value to this method:

[[NSBundle mainBundle] localizedStringForKey:key value:defaultValue table:nil]

But I haven't found an easy way to obtain that value. I can create a dictionary from the strings file but I was wondering if there is a more convenient way?

Answer 1

I think it Cocoa uses the english strings as fallbacks automatically.
