How do you localize static UIApplicationShortcutItems?

Question

I have an application and I want to add a mix of static and dynamic app shortcut items. Localizing for dynamic items is pretty straightforward, using NSLocalizedString

Answer 1

Turns out that the app will search the InfoPlist.strings file for a corresponding key matching the value in the Info.plist. That might sound a little confusing, so here's an example:

For the UIApplicationShortcutItemTitle key in the info.plist, add a value of, say, ADD_ITEM_SHORTCUT_TITLE:

UIApplicationShortcutItemTitle
ADD_ITEM_SHORTCUT_TITLE

This value will then need a corresponding entry in your InfoPlist.strings file:

ADD_ITEM_SHORTCUT_TITLE = "Add Item";
