I'm currently developing an application which is 90% user entered text content so I hope that localising my app won't be as much trouble as other applications.

The primary strings displayed are names of tabs and navigation bar titles (and prompts) and also some table view cell labels. My application is mostly a Calendar.app like application with a little bit of Contacts.app and some songs/lyrics entering thrown in for good measure which means that most of the text content is user-created (which takes the burden out of translating strings).

I actually just tried writing some Japanese characters into a new entry and while it displayed correctly, I think I'll have to have a look at how my SQLite database is storing it as when I reload the application they are messed up but thats because I haven't even touched localisation in my app so I expected it wouldn't work properly.

The only problem I'm forseeing is the "section index title" part of the contacts tab which is much the same (though with a different kind of contact) as the Contacts and after looking at the Japanese index titles it doesn't exactly look anything like "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ#"!
