Hi Guys,

Hi Madan Mohan,

I think the previous link gives a pretty good idea of how to do I18N on the iPhone, but if you feel you need more info, you can try this article http://blog.federicomestrone.com/2010/05/18/internationalise-your-iphone-apps-with-xcode/ which is just slightly more code-orientated.

The point though is always the same - you have to separate code from text resources and load all your text (strings) with the NSLocalizedString macro, or a variant thereof.
