title: Internationalization with Nibs. Is that really a good idea?
body: <p>In the Apple Docs they say that a Nib enables internationalization by just translating the Nib into many languages. I am thinking now about a worse but realistic scenario: You have made a huge user interface. Then you translate this into 25 languages. So you get 25 different Nibs. You also get a huge redundancy in styling and defining the UI: 25 times the same stuff. Same Bindings, same everything. Just text is different.</p>
  
  <p>So, I really think this is a very bad approach. Instead, I would prefer to just link in all texts from a resource bundle or something like that. Just a file with text strings, which is linked in at run time from the appropriate language resource. Then you only have "trouble" linking in the text which really doesnt make any fun. But then, you can do changes on your UI ONCE without having to do the same step 25 times over and over again. A new Binding in every nib. That would be so horrible!!</p>
  
  <p>Now, please tell me I got that wrong. Apple does not assume that we do something so creazy?</p>
