iPhone language setting

Question

Hi everyone, I am junior in iPhone game development. I am using Cocos2D for this game I am currently building. I have completed the game however my client wants to have 1 more version of this game, all the functionality is the same except the language. He wants the game will be switched to the French version if the iPhone language is set to French. I just need to replace the buttons, the text inside the game with French. But I am not quite sure about the language setting in iPhone, how can I switch the whole thing into a different version accordingly to the language setting, anyone knows where i can start? Please give me a hand, I really appreciate any helps.

Thanks a lot

Answer 1

You have to localize your app with Localizable.strings file where you put all your string properties for each language. For more see: http://developer.apple.com/iPhone/library/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPInternational/Articles/LocalizingInterfaces.html
