Re: [iphonesb] Practices for localization based on location

Oh - seems I misunderstood what you were saying. You're talking about the fact that viewing the Store from an iOS device will show the wrong language in some cases? Nevermind my ealier reply then.

Of course the app content will differ between different countries, for

are puzzled on why the rest of the app such as navigation buttons and
labels are localized this way.

What gives you that idea? Too much exposure to the Windows world? :) 

Mac and iOS apps in the store are always multi-lingual. You submit a single app containing all the languages, and no matter who downloads it, they'll always get the complete app with all provided languages. When the user switches his iOS devices main language, all iOS apps switch to the lang as well if they contain that language.

To have separate apps with individual languages in the App Store, you'd have to create separate items in the Store, giving them separate names and separate bundle identifiers. Apple's iTunes Connect (the UI which we use to upload our apps to the Store) simply won't let you upload different apps for different languages for a single store product.
