Widget’s display name is a text string defined in the widget’s info.plist
file
and specified by the <DisplayName>
key.
To localize the display name of your widget:
Define a localized
display name in a file named infoplist.strings
.
Store the file under the appropriate language project directory.
The following is an example display name definition in an infoplist.strings
file:
DisplayName = “Localized name”
When a widget is being installed, the widget installer searches for
the infoplist.strings
file under a language project directory
that matches with the current device system language. If the installer finds
the infoplist.strings
file and a localized name is provided,
the localized name overrides the display name defined in the widget's info.plist
file.
Note: The display name is loaded only once, when a widget is being installed. If the system language is later changed to another language, the display name will not be changed according to the new system language; in this case, localization would require reinstallation of the widget.
