How can replace this using sed?

I'm using OS X, want to replace 

[self.lang getAppLanguageString:@"foo bar"]

to 

LocalizedString(@"foo bar", nil)

I use sed like the below:

sed -i '' s/[self\.lang getAppLanguageString:@"([a-zA-Z]+)"]/LocalizedString(@"\1", nil)/g somefile

but not work, how can I do that?

You've already escaped . in the pattern, but also need to escape [ and ].

Try:

sed -i 's/\[self\.lang getAppLanguageString:@\("[^"]*"\)\]/LocalizedString(@\1, nil)/' somefile
