Multi Lingual Apps

Is there a simple way of ultilising the iphones native language function in order to change the apps language based on phone location?

It's called localization. There's a how to in my guide. Also take a look at Apple's localization guide. Below is excerpt from my Source Code (iOS) BTv2.0 article that should be of interest.

I have read your guide thankyou. Looking through the strings file I assume this only modifies native iphone text. Things like menu lists, custom html text, quiz questions etc will remain in English?

Certainly, if you don't provide alternative resources the app will use the one provided. In the Android drawable folder there are various folders from alternative resources. If the logic provides for it you and provide the alternative resources. Fred
