JohnSundell / JSLocalization

An Objective-C class that enables dynamic localization of an iOS app.

JSLocalization

Let your users change the language of your app without restarting it

• Dynamically localize your app, allowing the locale to be changed at runtime.
• Provides APIs for setting the locale, as well as retrieving the localized string for a key, similar to NSLocalizedString.
• Useful when you want to provide an in-app language selection, to allow your users to pick a different language than the system-wide default for your app.

Here's how to use JSLocalization:

Use JSLocalization to obtain your localized strings

myLabel.text = JSLocalizedString(@"MyLabelText");

Use +setCurrentLocale: to change the locale

// Change the locale to Swedish
[JSLocalization setCurrentLocale:@"sv-SE"];

The parameter passed to +setCurrentLocale: must match the name of a lproj localization bundle available in your app's bundle.

Use the JSLocaleDidChangeNotification NSNotification to respond to changes in locale in your views

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(localeDidChange:) name:JSLocaleDidChangeNotification object:nil];

- (void)localeDidChange:(NSNotification *)notification
{
	NSLog(@"Locale changed to: %@", notification.object);

	// Update label text to match new locale
	self.myLabel.text = JSLocalizedString(@"MyLabelText");
}

Hope that you'll enjoy using JSLocalization!
