Hey, I have an application that uses different currencies and measuring units.
I've never dealt with localization before, so I wanted to hear your thoughts on how to approach this.
Is it better to insert a kind of picker for each field, where you can pick your currency and units? Or is it better to localize it to different demographics, where it's Meters and EUROs in the UK, etc?
Should I put in a preference panel in the settings part so that users can change their localization? Or should I place that in the application itself?
I'm sorry if those are a lot of questions, but it's my first time approaching an application like this, and I'm really not sure how to go about it.
If all the languages you want to support are available in iOS, then you don't need any Settings option within your app or a Settings bundle. Just rely on what the user set for the system language and locale and use that.

Thanks baja_yu . I have one more question. I took a look at the tutorial for localization, and it's very useful and straight forward, but I couldn't figure out how to implement localization by region.
My app uses different units of measurement based on the individual's location, and not necessarily their language. People in the UK have a different measure than in America, etc. How can I make the localization by region, and not by language?
