Question

I am trying to test various localizations in the iOS 7 simulator.

The problem is that, I see very few languages. I see all the languages in the iOS 6 simulator, but iOS 7 has very few choices. What do I need to do to get all the languages I have in iOS 6?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Option 1:

That's strange. I'm unsure exactly what needs to be installed but check Xcode's preferences and see under the Downloads tab you have the following:

Downloads Tab contents

I'm guessing whatever you need is in either the documentation or components.

Option 2:

Ensure you are using the latest Xcode (that is Xcode 5.1.1)

It could be you are using a BETA version of Xcode 5 which may not have came with all languages

Option 3:

If you installed simulator 7.1 before 7.0, you might need to install 7.0 still, as suggested by this:

OTHER TIPS

I do know that this does not solve the problem of having only few languages in the simulator. But it seems like that you just want to test an App in various languages.

You can run an App on a device (and probably also on simulator) with a specific language by adding

-AppleLanguages "(English)"

to the run arguments in Xcode. (Replace English with the respective language.)

Just add that to the Arguments Passed On Launch which can be found at Product > Scheme > Edit Scheme... > Run <App>.app > Arguments.
