Supported languages iOS Apache Cordova
Cordova / PhoneGap Plugin that exposes supported languages to the App Store (iTunes).
On iOS, Cordova declares (just) english as supported language. Since most of the
i18n solutions that developers use for their translation/internazionalizations
support are javascript based there is no way to say to app store that anoter
language is also supported. You need to explicitly declare those languages
within the info.plist file.
Since I'm lazy I prefer letting a plugin do this job (avoiding the need to re-edit the file everytime I do a fresh build from the cordova cli). Hope you find it useful as well.
