IPhone Localization: Simple Project Not Working

I am doing my first localized project and I have been battling it for several hours with no luck.

I need to create an application that displays texts and images in different languages ​​based on user selection.

I've read most of Apple's docs on the subject, but I can't seem to get a simple example working.

These are my steps so far:

1) Create a new project.

2) Manually create the "en.lproj" directory in your projects folder.

3) Using TexEdit create a file called "Localizable.strings" and save it in Unicode UTF-16. The file looks like this:

/* 
   Localizable.strings
   Multilanguage02

   Created by Gonzalo Floria on 5/6/10.
   Copyright 2010 __MyCompanyName__. All rights reserved.
 */
"Hello" = "Hi";
"Goodbye" = "Bye";

      

        
        
        
      

    

4) I dragged this file into the Resources folder on Xcode and it appears under "subdir" "en" below it (with a dropdown triangle on the left). If I try to see it on Xcode everything looks wrong, much? characters but Im guessing because it is a UTF-16 file. Right?

5) Now that my view has loaded, I can access these lines like this:

NSString *translated;
translated = NSLocalizedString(@"Hello", @"User greetings");
NSLog(@"Translated text is %@",translated);

      

        
        
        
      

    

My problem is allowing the user to switch the language. I created es.lproj with Localizable.strings file (in Spanish) but I MUST NOT access it.

I tried this line:

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject: [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"es", nil] forKey:@"AppleLanguages"];

      

        
        
        
      

    

But it only works NEXT application load time. Is there no way to allow the user to switch languages ​​during application launch?

Do I need to execute my own dictionary files and forget about the NSLocalizableString family?

Thanks for ANY advice or pointers.
