what’s best practice for that?
Thanks!

I use localized based strings for this, for eg:
fr french
en english
de German
gr greek
You essentially define a key/value pair in these files, and from the code, you do something like:
labelHeading.text = NSLocalizedString(@"headingSettings", "Settings");
In this case, I'd have an entry of (in my en file):
"headingSettings" = "Settings";
It gets a bit more complicated with .xib files, but I find altering the controls (UILabel, etc) by code is better than having multiple localized .xib
Note, the sample app "International Mountains" might help you with a solid example of Localization
