How to set app languages for the AppStores?

[jens.greiner]

Hi, I didn't found any satisfying answer to this topic in forums or docs.

How could I set the languages my app is supporting to be shown in the iOS (for example) AppStore?
If my app supports English and German I want it to show on the appstore page for my app too.

I know, it is an plist item. But as far as I know modifying the plist after building the app makes the app invalid (because of signature?) and it gets rejected by Apple.

How does it work for the Android (google) AppStore?

Thank you!

May be I missed some doc/tutorial/thread about it, so please point me to the solution. %-)

Hi, is there really nobody else with this issue?

Hi

What you need to do is add empty .lproj folders for each language you support using the Copy Files section of the standalone builder. For French it would be fr.lproj and so on. This works for both OS X and iOS and will cause the system translate the standard dialogs like mail on iOS etc.

Hi monte,

thank you very much.

If I add such a folder "fr.lproj" to my app, is English always a default language for the app and the AppStore shows now two languages? Or is the app then French only?

Cheers

The default is a plist setting so you need to edit the templates inside the livecode app bundle for that.

That's what I had already thought, but so far I didn't want to mess around with the LiveCode bundle.

Since to modify my final app bundle is not a valid option because of loosing the integrity of the signed bundle, I see two ways to go.
1. Have a look at the templates.
2. Make only apps with at least two languages and use the .lproj folders...

May be I should make an app to modify the templates via menus and drop downs.

Thank you very much for your help!

Cheers,
Jens

Hi all, very useful topic. Somebody knows if there are differences between using "English.lproj" or "en.lproj" as name of folders?
