IPA language with Visual studio (Cordova)

Question

I have a problem when I try to set the language of the IPA. My App is in French but only English is added in the generated IPA. I do not kwnow how to change this. I use visual studio with Cordova tools.

I have tried to add a locales folder but it changes nothing...

Do you have an idea of what I need to do in order to add French to the IPA?

Thanks for your help.

Which version of Cordova tools are you using? – Clavate

Answer 1

You would need to specify that in your Info.plist file. You are able to supply a custom Info.plist with your build.

In your .plist file you will then be able to specify the localization as follows:

<key>CFBundleLocalizations</key>
<array>
    <string>English</string>
    <string>French</string>
</array>

To find out more adding custom configuration files, please have a look at MSDN's Platform-specific configuration files

I try to override the info.plist. i add the file in res/native/ios/config.xml with the content of info.plist. But the file appName-info.plist is not override in the mac in folder remoteBuild. – Sur

Ok, just to be clear, you are creating a file and naming it <display name from config.xml>-Info.plist, and then placing that file in res/native/ios/<display name from config.xml>/. So if your app name is myApp, the path will be: res/native/ios/myApp/myApp-Info.plist. Lastly, just to make sure, you are using the latest version of Cordova tools for Visual Studio? – Clavate

It works ! The doc is not easy to understand... Thanks for your help – Sur
