ios - Localizing apps for non-standard locales -


i writing app should support language not in list of available (40?) languages on device, region format is. want localize name of days "yesterday...". problem is, days (monday,...) fetched using nslocale , therefore work on device, words "yesterday" have localised language amongst 40 or so. though xcode lets me localize wanted region, device uses standard language, in case danish.

the result (like in call app) "yesterday" shows in english (since can't localize specific region, kamba-kenya), day names translated fine. there way around except hard-coding?

i doubt have hard-code of these data ios supported locales. take effort able avoid hard-coding locales @ all.

ios heavily utilizes locale-sensitive data cldr , locale supported, don't have localize these strings since translations these relative date names (which category in cldr terminology covering words such "today", "yesterday", , "tomorrow") planned part of locale data. example showing data german compared english:

<fields>    ...    <field type='day'>     <displayname>day</displayname>     <relative type='-1'>yesterday</relative>     <relative type='0'>today</relative>     <relative type='1'>tomorrow</relative>    </field>    ...   </fields>   <fields>    ...    <field type='day'>     <displayname>tag</displayname>     <relative type='-2'>vorgestern</relative>     <relative type='-1'>gestern</relative>     <relative type='0'>heute</relative>     <relative type='1'>morgen</relative>     <relative type='2'>Übermorgen</relative>    </field>    ...   </fields>

also, found out nsdateformatter has 2 attributes called setdoesrelativedateformatting , doesrelativedateformatting give need supported locales. i'm not ios developer can't certainty.

although data ka-ke available in cldr, since locale not yet supported ios, have go through hoops make work; e.g. build icu ios covered in detail in this answer or using static build available here.

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers
