We could add such a method in MacRuby core, but I wonder if it will be really that much of a use. NSLocalizedString macros are used in Objective-C programs because they are parsed by the genstrings command-line tool, to generate the translation file. I am not sure if genstrings can be used on Ruby files.

At some point we will need a l10n solution for MacRuby apps, though. I am wondering if there isn't already a Ruby library for this? (something like gettext?).

Something like this:

module Kernel

 def NSLocalizedString(key, value)
   NSBundle.mainBundle.localizedStringForKey(key, value:value, table:nil)
 end
end

Changing the line to
return NSBundle.mainBundle.localizedStringForKey("Today", value:"Today
title string", table:nil)
works but NSLocalizedString is supposed to be a Foundation Function,
so should be 'freely' available in MacRuby, shouldn't it?

The trouble is that NSLocalizedString is not actually a function —
it's a macro, so MacRuby can't call it. It really just needs to be
reimplemented, but until then the NSBundle methods are precisely
equivalent.
