Change System Locale to zh_CN

July 31, 2007 – 9:40 am | Views: 309 | Spiders: 156 |

The iPhone comes with the default system locale setting to en_US, to setup another locale for the system (eg, zh_CN), edit the following property list file:

/var/root/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist

Change ‘AppleLocale’ string to zh_CN, then move the zh_CN to the first place in the ‘AppleLanguages’ array.

Reboot iPhone, the iPhone will default to zh_CN.

To make a localized version of application, simply copy its English.lproj to zh_CN.lproj, and translate the .strings into Chinese.
