Changing Labels and Text

You can customize most of the text found in labels, dialogs, or error messages used by the Hybrid Web Container.

Changes that you can make include:
  • Buttons, labels, and error messages – these strings are in Localizable.strings, under the Resources/<language>.lproj group folders in the Xcode Project Navigator.
  • Application branding – strings that identify the application, among other things. These strings are in Branding.strings, under the Resources/<language>.lproj group folder in the Xcode Project Navigator.
  • About box – these strings are in About.strings, under the Resources/Settings.bundle/en.lproj folder. Expand the Settings.bundle under the Resources group folder in the Xcode Project Navigator. Here, you can change the company name or the version number that is shown in the About box in the Settings screen.

Keep in mind that for any change you make you must also make equivalent changes for each language if you want your changes to translate across other languages.

When modifying one of the *.strings files, you need only to change the second string value. For example, to change the AppId in Branding.strings, on this line: AppId = HWC, change only the "HWC."
