OSX: how to localize the name appearing when the mouse flies over the app icon in the dock?

When the user's mouse flies over the app icon in the dock, the name of the app appears on the app icon.

According to the tests I just performed, it seams that the name which appears corresponds to the "Product Name" defined in the project target (in "Build Settings" menu).

The question is: how can I localize this target product name in order to have my app name in the correct language when the user puts its mouse over my app icon ?

Or is there any other method to localize the app name which appears when the user puts its mouse over my app icon ?

Thanks !

  • have an info InfoPlist.strings file in which you have localized CFBundleDisplayName, you can also localize the NSHumanReadableCopyrigh et al.

    It is indeed required to follow strictly the steps mentioned in this article: http://kb.applingua.com/2011/10/how-to-localize-app-names/
