   You can go to this page in the wiki to get some translations of common words used in games : http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/wiki/doku.php/resources:translations

   As for code, there are two things to consider: strings and resources. For strings, wherever you display some code-generated text, you should wrap the string in a NSLocalizedString call. And then generate a "Localizable.strings" file with the genstrings command-line tool. For resources (usually nib files and images that contain text), you need to 'Get info' on them in Xcode and click the 'Make File Localizable' button.

   Well, instead of doing [myLabel setString:@"Welcome"];
   you do [myLabel setString:NSLocalizedString(@"Welcome", @"A comment about the welcome message")];

   When you've done it for all the strings in your project, you can use the genstrings command to generate a Localizable.strings file (see the second link below). This file will contain the translations. For the example above, there will be the two following lines:
   

   /* A comment about the welcome message */
   "Welcome" = "Welcome";

   This file will be placed in a en.lproj directory for English. You should generate one in a fr.lproj directory for French, es.lproj for Spanish, etc. In the French version of the Localizable.strings file (the one that's in the fr.lproj folder), you would have these two lines:
   

   /* A comment about the welcome message */
   "Welcome" = "Bienvenue";

   Don't hesitate to look at the documentation to learn more about this (very useful).

   I have written for english and save as "Localizable.strings".. when i try to add "Localizable.strings" for fr.lproj, am getting the error saying that we cant add the "Localizable.strings" which is already added in the resources. While trying to add a new file for french language. A subfolder is opening in name "fr". Can anyone guide me how to give all the language for my application.
