[MacRuby-devel] Internationalization question

[Colin T.A. Gray]

you can pass a "plain string" (e.g. "text string" not @"text string") and macruby will treat it as an NSString.

and I think the localized version is fetched using:

    NSBundle.mainBundle.localizedStringForKey('text string', value:nil, table:nil)

The best one seems to be Marius Souter's MacRuby translation of code from "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" (https://github.com/mariussoutier/Cocoa-Programming-for-Mac-OS-X-in-MacRuby/blob/master/RaiseMan/RaiseMan/Ext.rb) It also looks fairly straightforward to use, but I'm not sure if it's the "official" way of doing this.
