Localizing an application.



Q. What must I do to make my application localizable?

A. You should read Chapter 8 "Localization" of the Concepts book.
   This chapter covers many of the concepts and routines needed to
   make your application easily localizable.

   In a nutshell, here's what you need to consider:
   1. Put localizable strings in @chunks so you can use ResEdit to
      modify the strings.
   2. Use Local...() routines for formatting strings (for date,
      currency, measurement, etc.) and other string manipulation.
   3. Register for notification of changes to user settings.  (see
      following question.)
