iosxcodeuialertviewnslocalizedstringlocalizable.strings

NSLocalizedString only retrieves the key, not the value in Localizable.strings (IOS)

I've made a strings file named "Localizable.strings" and added two languages to it, like so:

"CONNECTIONERROR" = "Check that you have a working internet connection.";
"CONNECTIONERRORTITLE" = "Network error";

I have also converted the files to Unicode UTF-8 However, when I create a UIAlertView like this:

 UIAlertView *myAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
 initWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"CONNECTIONERRORITLE",nil)
 message:NSLocalizedString(@"CONNECTIONERROR",nil)                    
 delegate:self
 cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok"
 otherButtonTitles:nil];

the alert view only shows the key text, not the value. It works if I, for example, set a UITextviews text to NSLocalizedString(@"CONNECTIONERROR",nil), but the alert view only displays the key. Anyone know what's wrong?

Solution

  • Tested the app on an actual device and it worked
