There was a possibly related issue in early 5.4 builds that I filing a bug for (5572055) where if there was no non localized (Resources/) component, at least for Main.wo then WO would fail to find the template for the component. This was only evident in deployment, as it only happened when -WOCachingEnabled was turned on. This has been fixed in more recent releases of 5.4

Hi,

If you are using Wonder localization (and all the cool kids are) you can probably ignore this. If you are using WOResourceManager, then read on...

Unless I missed something (always a possibility!), there has been a substantial change in 5.4 that has not been documented.

According to the WOResourceManager documentation for stringForKey:

Searches aTableName using aKey to find a localized string ... the search then continues to the aTableName file (if it exists) directly under the Resources directory (inside the directory with the .woa extension).


This is no longer the case. It now looks in Default.lproj. This folder does _not_ get flattened in the built bundle. In previous versions, the resources in Nonlocalized.lproj were flattened into Resources/ in the built bundle. This old mechanism now breaks localization: if a resource is found directly under Resources/ is it used and localized versions are not considered.

Also, NSBundle still looks in Nonlocalized.lproj (instead of Default.lproj) so it is not compatible with how WOResourceManager now works. An example application demonstrating the problems is attached.

To update your projects, rename Nonlocalized.lproj to Default.lproj. If you had resources directly under Resources/ that had localized counter parts, create a Default.lproj directory and move them there.


I have filed a bug with Apple with these suggested fixes:

1. Update the documentation, make publish a tech note calling this out.

2. Fix bug so that if legacy Nonlocalized.lproj is used (with built resources at top Resources/ level) it does not hide localized files

3. Update NSBundle to look in Default.lproj as well
