Abstract
At the time of this writing, the iPhone is available in 84 different countries and that number will continue to increase over time. You can now buy and use an iPhone on every continent except Antarctica. If you plan on releasing applications through the iPhone App Store, your potential market is considerably larger than just people in your own country who speak your own language. Fortunately, iPhone has a robust localization architecture that lets you easily translate your application (or have it translated by others) into not only multiple languages but even into multiple dialects of the same language. Want to provide different terminology to English speakers in the United Kingdom than you do to English speakers in the United States? No problem.
