It's true that autolayout has many benefits aside from localization. But I'd say it's only partially true that you can switch to Base.lproj for localization without converting to autolayout. Without autolayout the translated text from your strings files probably won't look very good injected into your Base UI. You might be able to finagle it if you use certain control placements, or make your controls really wide so longer translated text doesn't overlap adjacent controls and that kind of thing, but it's going to be awkward and finicky. Autolayout is really the key to making a single set of source xibs from Base.lproj work for all localizations. ~Martin Wierschin Nisus Software / Developer Solana Beach ☀️ California _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
