default language, add localizations

Of course it is possible. Coulmd you detail the steps you follow ?

When my project is selected

You mean you select project in XCode file browse. Correct ?

there isn't any language or localizations in general settings

You selected Target, not Project. Is it ?

and in the editor tab Add Localization displays all the languages french, arabic...

Which editor are you speaking about ?

but the menu items are greyed out and not accessible for the current displayed source.

Which menu ? Which source do you speak about ?

What you should do:

1. select your project in PROJECT
2. select Info in the panel
3. you'll get a + button in Localization area ; click it
4. then select french in the pop up
5. apply to the storyboards thjat are proposed

Good morning and thank you, I know the Info Tab gives the popup languages but where it is? I can't find it! When the properties of the selected project have been opened, at display I can see General Signing&Capabilities Resource Tag Build settings Build Phases Build Rules but not Info.

It would be easier with a picture, but…

Select the project on the very left pane ("my app", at the top of file brower, with a blue icon.

You should now get a pane, with PROJECT and TARGETS on the left

Select the project name here in PROJECT (you selected a Target)

Then, at top of the new pane, select Info

You should see several areas:

Deployment target

Configurations

Localizations

At the bottom of Localizations, you will see the + button.

Does it work now ?

Without picture it will be practible! I easily found the info tab and localization, I added the french language with the + , now it appears in the list. Under the Resources for each added languages I can read "0 Files localized". After restarting XCode, there are no difference I think another settings and options have to be "enabled". If you have any idea about it don't hesitate. Thank you very much.Thierry

Some more steps needed:

• Select storyboard.
• Show the file inspector
• In localization, check on "French"
• Then you will see that Main.storyboard is now a folder, with a french entry
• select it and start localizing.

I have written a document for personal use on steps to localize. It is not a perfect tutorial, more notes (in french) that I gathered progressively. If that may help, please post for a minute a mail address where to send.

Very well! With a project that contains a story board the settings for the localization are available and checkable but in another project (C++) without story board I can't find it! Is Xcode available only in English? Really thanks for your help. Thierry

Yes, XCode is only english.

It's harder for chinese people than for french !

If you have no storyboard, then you have all text created in code.

Then you need to use NSLocalized as here:

let ac = UIAlertController(title: NSLocalizedString("Operation Impossible", comment: "Scan failed"),

message: NSLocalizedString("This device cannot scan QR code ", comment: "Scan failed"),

preferredStyle: .alert)

Then, you will have to create files : Localizable.strings

I explain how to do in my doc.

If that's OK, don't forget to close the thread.

Thank you very much Claude31. Bye-bye Thierry

What I have to do to close the thread?

Humm...I think you're just flexing any muscles, no?
