Notes on iPhone Application Localization

To localize an iPhone application, it's not sufficient just to localize strings in code and string in xib files.

For app itself

• Localizable.strings for strings in code (NSLocalizedString)
• Nib files (every *.xib file)
• InfoPlist.strings for Info.plist
• Strings in Settings.bundle, if there is a Settings.bundle
• Any other app specific resources that contains text visible to users (e.g. level definition file in a game, external help file etc.)

For app store

• App descriptions
• "What's new in this version"
• Keywords

The above is an incomplete list because I'm afraid there are something else to be localized that I'm not aware of. However, it is a good list to start with.
