docs » cp.strings

Provides strings from (potentially) multiple sources, with support for loading from multiple languages.

local strs = require("cp.strings").new():fromPlist("/Path/To/Resources/${language}.lproj/MYLocalization.strings")
local value = strs:find("en", "AKey")

This will load the file for the specified language (replacing ${language} with "en" in the path) and return the value. Note: This will load the file on each request. To have values cached, use the cp.strings module and specify a plist as a source.
