Xcode 8 how to add a language?


I want to translate my app in German and Japanese. I have read tutorials to make it but I cannot find the Base Internationalization box that I am supposed to check in the info tab of my app. Main parts in my info tab are "custom IOS target properties", "document types", "exported UTIs"... There is nothing about Localization.

I guess I have to manage it in the "custom IOS target properties" but I don't know how. There I have added the key "Localizations" with "English", "German" and "Japanese" values, and I also have a key "Localization native development region" with value "en".

Then I have added my Localizable.strings file in Base.lproj but in the File Inspector I can only see "Base" and "English" as Localization, there is nothing about German and Japanese.

I have also noticed that when I go to Editor > Add Localization, I cannot select any language.

Do you see what's wrong?

Thank you,

Alex
