Cocoa uses (automatically) localized strings. I would like to do the
same.
E.g. using NSTextView and pasting a font, the Edit menu will suddenly
show Undo "Paste Font".
If the same app is running with German as the preferred language, the
Edit menu will contain Undo "Schrift einsetzen" (yes, the "Undo" also
gets translated, but this does not interest me at this point).
When I override this mechanism, doing my own undo handling I have to
use setActionName: "Paste Font".
But this is only correct if the current language is English.
So I have to do: setActionName: NSLocalizedStringFromTable( @"Paste
Font", @"UndoStrings", @"setting font via menu Format → Font");
But this means that I have to create UndoStrings.strings files for
about 15 languages, which is kind of tedious.
Also: If Apple decides that the correct translation for "Paste Font"
should be "Schriftart einfügen" instead of "Schrift einsetzen", my
app would look strange, using different words compared to all other
apps.
So I want something like:
NSLocalizedStringFrom_the_Table_used_by_the_System(..).
Or maby I could get at the official translations using NSDefaultManager?
These strings must be somewhere - so how to find them? Neither
Spotlight nor grep seem to handle utf-16 files (like .strings).
Kind regards,
Gerriet.
