Modifying all localizations at once?

Asked by Nicholas Riley

I'm trying to fix an issue with the Sparkle updater nibs which is almost certainly limited to my application. Is there an easy way to modify all the localizations at once or do I have to go through all 29 languages individually?

Not that I know of, unfortunately, since each nib has unique layout. Some people use automated solutions on their interfaces, but they invariably end up with weird layouts, so we've done all ours by hand. Bummer.

For the moment I've just decided to delete all the non-English localizations of Sparkle. Thanks for confirming there's no better way.

Actually it is not that hard to get good layouts, especially in the few NIBs included in Sparkle. I think the only relevant localization dependent layout is in the button rows, but it is pretty easy to do that in code in windowDidLoad. In my own app I have a generic function to do that <http://skim-app.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/skim-app/trunk/NSGeometry_SKExtensions.m?revision=6896&view=markup>.
