Localization

Hey, need some hep understanding localization From what I've understood from what I read for localization, it seems I'd have to make changes for every single screen. I mean, for example, the app is configured to open a certain URL for a file. I'd have to have it open a different URL dependeding on the language. Having to add all this via Xcode, or so I understood. Right or wrong? Cheers

Hey, Fred, the link you gave me didn't help me. I already understand how localization works for changing the language in the bars and popup's, like the next button, and home, back etc... What i also need is to have app open a diferent screen. I have a menu, and each button leads to a URL. I want the app to lead to URL A if I have english settings or URL B if I have portuguese settings. Maybe the easiest way to do it, is via html, like this user does: "To do this, you'll need a web server with PHP and MySQL. Every entity featured on our website is an entry in MySQL, with lots of different fields. One of the field contains the French descriptive text, another the English one, etc. When you tap on the flag, you send a request to a different PHP file, displaying a slightly different content. In that case, the 'descriptive text' is different (and things coded directly in the PHP file). Without web server, you can do it directly with BuzzTouch, using the 'HTML doc' plugin. Create your screens as HTML files, and images with links to other languages pages." it's just not as fancy... Cheers
