I18N support in zxing ?

[notarysojac]

Hi zxing world - 

Has anyone considered providing internationalization support in the zxing project?  

Of course I can edit the code and put my own support in there - but it would be cool if there was some way, as with Apple's NSLocalizedString capability, to substitute in strings from other languages as the occasion might warrant.

Thanks!

I assume you're talking specifically about the iphone app -- core/ has nothing to localize and android/ is fully localized. I imagine it's something that will happen if you can propose a patch.

Patches welcome.

That would only work for the Objective C code, though. Not sure if that would be enough …

The core code is not locale-specific, and the Android app is already fully localized. So yes it's long ago been a consideration. You and smparkes would know more about how to make that happen for the ObjC code, but I assume this would apply to the iPhone app rather than any core code over there either.
