Internationalize Your iOS Apps for a Global Audience Sixty percent
of iPhone users worldwide aren’t native English speakers, half of
the Top 10 iOS app markets are non-English speaking, and app revenue
in Asia is soaring while North American growth is flattening.
Internationalizing your apps will make your worldwide customer base
happy and give you a powerful competitive advantage in the global
marketplace. Now, iOS expert Shawn Larson brings together all the
knowledge you need to do it. Larson takes information previously
scattered across dozens of blog posts, tutorials, and book chapters
and integrates it into one easy-to-navigate resource. He presents
step-by-step coverage and practical code for controlling international
settings, character encoding, locale and localization, UI adjustments,
App Store customizations, and more. You’ll find a sample project in
every chapter—including a major three-chapter project guiding you
through several key stages of app internationalization. Coverage
includes: Customizing language, region, and locale settings, including
date, time, currency, quotation marks, separators, and more Working
with character sets, including Unicode and ligatures Coding for locale
with NSLocale and locale-specific arguments Systematically prepping
your app for localization Leveraging the full power of base
localization Generating dot-strings files and working with their
key-value pairs Localizing images and app names Effectively using
translation services—and avoiding the pitfalls Adjusting your UI to
avoid clipped strings in longer languages Using constraint settings to
support right-to-left languages Specifying App Store supported
territories and pricing tiers Localizing your App Store summary page:
name, descriptions, keywords, URLs, screenshots, and EULAs If you're
an experienced Objective-C developer, iOS Internationalization will
help you expand your iOS market worldwide and capture opportunities
that would otherwise be far beyond your grasp. All sample code and
completed projects may be downloaded at github.com/ShawnLa-i18n.
