How do I do localization with Appcelerator?

Question

I want to use strings so I don't have to have if statements for every language.

Answer 1

In every project, there is a directory called "i18n". In the subdirectory for "en", there is a file called "strings.xml".

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="name">Hello</string>
</resources>

In your code, you can reference it like so:

L('name');
