You can fairly easily obtain any particular resource or set of resources from a given localization, using -pathForResource:ofType:inDirectory:forLocalization: et al. Obtaining strings from .strings files is a matter of a few lines of code--locate the file using -pathForResource:ofType:inDirectory:forLocalization:, load it using any of the standard property-list methods (e.g. dictionaryWithContentsOfFile: or propertyListFromData:mutabilityOption:format:errorDescription:) and look up the key in the resulting dictionary (the .strings file format is a variant property list format and readable by the property list APIs).
