so - Non-English default language for iOS App?

"There is a problem when the device is not set to one of the languages we
support, for example, on my phone which is set to English. We want the
phone to fall back to German in cases like this, but that is not happening."

JLM - Another Category on NSString

"You can call it like this:
BOOL isFloat = [@"12345.00" holdsFloatingPointValue];

If you needed to determine if it was a valid floating point number using a
different locale, that's also an option with the second method. It works like
this:

BOOL isFloatForLocale = [@"123456.00" holdsFloatingPointValueForLocale:theLocale];

The third method tells you if a string contains an integer value.

BOOL isInteger = [@"12345" holdsIntegerValue];

Nothing earth-shattering here, but might save you some time somewhere
down the road."

so - How to create sectioned/grouped table view alphabetically

"An indexed list is a table view in the plain style that is specially configured
through three UITableViewDataSource methods:

-sectionIndexTitlesForTableView:
-tableView:titleForHeaderInSection:
-tableView:sectionForSectionIndexTitle:atIndex:

The first method returns an array of the strings to use as the index entries
(in order), the second method maps these index strings to the titles of the
table-view’s sections (they don’t have to be the same), and the third me-
thod returns the section index related to the entry the user tapped in the
index."

"Internationalizing an existing iOS codebase, especially like the one we
have for the MeetMe app, can be a big process. This post sums up the
major points of the process. Some of the points here are particularly
important, especially if you are going to be supporting specific language
dialects in an application."
