Build and run the application. If the currency symbol is the dollar sign in your region,
you'll need to change your region format in order to test this code. Exit the
Homepwner
application and kill it in the dock. Then, in the
Settings
application, change
Region
Format
to
United Kingdom
(
General
→
International
→
Region Format
).
Run your application again. This time, you will see values displayed in pounds (£). (Note
that this is not a currency conversion from dollars to pounds; you're just replacing the
symbol.)
While your region format is set to the UK, check out the date format of the date an item
was created: it is
Day Month Year
. Now exit and kill
Homepwner
and change your region
to US. Relaunch
Homepwner
and navigate to an item's details. The date format is now
Month Day, Year
. The text for the date label has already been internationalized. When did
this happen?
bel of

NSDateFormatter
has a
locale
property,
which is set to the device's current locale. Whenever you use an
NSDateFormatter
to
create a date, it checks its
locale
property and sets the format accordingly. So the text
of the date label has been internationalized from the start.
