copied!<p>I haven't downloaded, installed or run PPStream myself so I'm speaking "out of my rear end" in a sense, but there are a number of ways to localize an app. But you really need to have access to the raw, uncompiled code and project to do it correctly.</p> <p>The three most likely ways the string resources are saved are these:</p> <p>1)</p> <p>The app may have a strings file from which it fetches the strings to be displayed in the interface. </p> <p>You <em>may</em> be able to make a copy of this strings file and set it to English or whatever language you choose.</p> <p>2)</p> <p>The strings may be baked into the code itself. This is generally a NO NO for commercial grade MacOS & iOS apps, but lazy and/or inexperienced developers can do this especially if they don't think their app will ever be used in other languages.</p> <p>3)</p> <p>The most likely set up is that there will be a folder hidden in the application package, inside the "Resources" folder, that has named like "en.lproj" or "English.lproj" or "de.lproj" or "zh_CN.lproj" or "zh_TW.lproj" (these last two are especially likely if this is only in Chinese). </p> <p>Inside those folders will be localized XIB (or older NIB) files. And if you make a copy of this folder and then modify the newly made copy to add your new language. </p> <p>Options 1 & 3 are ones you might be able to copy and then modify, but then again it might not work (especially these days when there's code & app signing). I've never tried this without an accompanying project, so if you have success, you should comment your question and/or this answer and let us know.</p>
