Auf Wiedersehen

If you want to maximize sales of your iOS application, localize it as much as possible. Fortunately, the iOS localization architecture makes easy work of supporting multiple languages, and even multiple dialects of the same language, within your application. As you saw in this chapter, nearly any type of file that you add to your application can be localized.

Even if you don’t plan on localizing your application, get in the habit of using NSLocalizedString instead of just using static strings in your code. With Xcode’s Code Sense feature, the difference in typing time is negligible, and should you ever want to translate your application, your life will be much, much easier.

At this point, our journey is nearly done. We’re almost to the end of our travels together. After the next chapter, we’ll be saying sayonara, au revoir, auf wiedersehen, avtío, arrivederci, hej då, and adiós. You now have a solid foundation you can use to build your own cool iOS applications. Stick around for the going-away party though, as we still have a few helpful bits of information for you.
