Caution
Not all fonts support all characters. You may need to use special non-English fonts for languages such as Chinese,
Japanese, and Korean.
TIP
Managing localization strings can be painfully time-consuming. Xcode includes two command-line tools to simpli-
fy the process. ibtool can read through a nib and create a list of visible strings. You can then send the strings to a
translator. When done, ibtool can fold the translated strings back into another “translated” nib. genstrings is a sim-
ilar tool, but it works on source code files. For details see the man pages or search for examples online.
Working with Advanced IB Techniques
IB is a deep application with many hidden features. There isn't room to explore them all—in fact, hardly anyone
uses IB to its fullest possible extent. But it's worth becoming familiar with some of the more accessible advanced
techniques.
