iOS Localization Troubles

I'm currently trying to localize my iOS app into French. For some reason my keys aren't being properly recognized. My .strings french file looks like this:

"START_FLIGHT" = "Démarrez";
"STOP_FLIGHT" = "Arrêtez";

But when I call:

let title = NSLocalizedString("STOP_FLIGHT", comment: "Stop Flight")
StartandStop.setTitle(title, forState: UIControlState.Normal)

The title of the button is changed to STOP_FLIGHT, where I intended the title to become Arrêtez. What have I got wrong?

I've figured out :)

You have to specify the tableName (which is the Storyboard name, in most cases), like these, either works

    let titleStr = NSBundle.mainBundle().localizedStringForKey("STOP_FLIGHT", value: "default stop flight", table:"Main")
    let anotherTitle = NSLocalizedString("STOP_FLIGHT", tableName: "Main", comment: "Comment")

So it turns out that localized string files can only be of the form Localizable.strings whereas I had named mine Localization.strings.
