iPhone en_* sublanguage localization

Question

I want to localize strings in my iphone app for en_GB and other \'en\' sub-languages, but XCode and the iphone refuse to let this happen. I have created a localization of \"Loca

Answer 1

I found the same problem.

BTW, if you look at the iPhone Settings -> General -> International menu, it makes the distinction between language and region quite clear:

Languages:
-English

Region Format:
-United States
-United Kingdom

The localization framework only appears to pay attention to the language, not the region.

I'm tempted to raise an enhancement request for this with Apple, as IMO it is reasonable that a user might want to use British English (for the text) whilst being in the United States (where, say, phone numbers should be in US format).
