iLocalize is a powerful and intuitive application designed to help developers for localizing their application. iLocalize handles multiple languages in the same project, offers custom glossaries and has powerful features to help incremental localization.

Save a lot of time when localizing your application with iLocalize!

Here are some key features of "iLocalize":
Check files and strings consistency (including placeholders position and type in strings)
Display and edit strings comment
Write back strings and comments at the same position in file as the base language file
Handle now all files in the application - unknown files are displayed in the file table and can be edited in an external editor
Quotes substitution on the fly
Show/hide controls characters
Line endings conversion between Mac, Unix and Windows convention
Strings file encoding per project
New project presets: save configuration to reuse them later using one-click only
History Manager
Extensive log reports
Nib preview

Limitations:
iLocalize can be used unregistered for an unlimited period of time and is not time-limited (but project cannot be saved until iLocalize has been registered).

Requirements:
Developer Tools
Any Mac with a 1 Ghz or faster PowerPC G4 processor.

What's New:
new file encoding handling: default preferences per language, new column in the files table
labels are now available for files
smart filter improved to handle labels for strings and files
added contextual menu in files table header to customize which columns is displayed
improved file warning dialog to display warnings in a table instead of a pop-up
improved display of file name and path by truncating if too long to be displayed in the cell
use the Finder icon for each file
new preference to choose the update dialog selection by default
new menu shortcuts
added ability to rebuild a base language file: for nib and strings files, it means that new and deleted elements will be reflected into the project (useful if a palette was missing when creating the project)
new project assistant: iLocalize now accepts all bundle extensions and tries to auto-detect which ones are suitable for localization
prefs: new external editor dialog to help choosing the external application for a given extension
fixed column header text alignment
remove duplicate entries button in merge glossary dialog
save file columns width
removed item "Save Modified Files" as it was duplicating the function of the standard Save command in the menu File
file names are sorted correctly now (ignoring case)
LaunchAppPlugin: new contextual menu plugin to launch an application with one of its languages in one click only!- fixed a bug when reading HTML page with BOM header
fixed a bug where file with identical smart path would not be correctly selected after re-opening the project
fixed a bug where new project window would not be correctly positioned and sized on screen
fixed a bug where the preferences window position would not be restored after launching iLocalize
fixed a bug where switching from one language to another with the propagation mode set to all files would propagate the translation in the wrong language
