Just a short question. I'm working with localizations and I get the whole concept of strings files etc but do I have to create a file with english values in it?

For instance my french one is:

"Yes" = "Oui"

But do I have to create a english one with:

"Yes" = "Yes"

or will cocoa automatically substitute an english string if it can't find a localized one?

The keys are not necessarily English-language strings; that is a common practice, but actually they can be any convenient values. The localized string APIs typically do return the key when no localized string is found, but it's still best to include a strings file for each localization.
