We are going xibs. This is the direction apple is going. We haven't defined a process for localization yet for the 1.2+ range, so if we don't get to it until after 1.2 is out, you'll need to be patient. I'd rather us have to wait and do it right, than delay people having all the problems much longer on 10.6.
We know that the nibs are not localizable, you do not need to email us every release. We'll let you know when we have a game plan. Xibs change things, for the better, from a source code and development perspective, and we need to investigate what actual changes are needed to accomadate that for localizers. But we aren't going to stay on nibs forever. Chris On Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 8:44 AM, Alexander Henket <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Nibs are perfectly localizable to me and all other localizers.
