iOS app localization

I want to localize my app. Should I create a new app in itunesconnect for each country or there is a way to automatically detect the country where user is? Actually my app is game based on Unity3d - is it possible to do it on Unity3d?

You dont need to make a new app for each language. Try following a guide like SmoothLocalize's tutorial or This one.

Then you'll have a Localizable.strings file you need to translate. I usually use SmoothLocalize.com as my translation services, because its cheap and super easy, but you can look around for others or even try to find individual translators yourself.

Definitely don't create a new app for each locale. iOS apps are localizable and iTunes Connect allows you to enter different metadata for each language.

Before Unity starts write these lines to pass the current language into unity

NSUserDefaults* defs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

NSArray* languages = [defs objectForKey:@"AppleLanguages"];

NSString* preferredLang = [languages objectAtIndex:0];

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject: preferredLang forKey: @"language"];

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
