How to localize all strings in an array

I have a dynamic array of strings, the elements of which I would like to localize. Is there a way to localize the strings without iteration e.g. something like using "makeObjectsPerformSelector". Thank you

makeObjectsPerformSelector iterates through the array. If you want to use that instead of the faster method of iterating yourself, do this:

@interface NSString (MyCategory)
-(void) localizeToArray:(NSMutableArray *)ioArray;
@end

@implementation NSString (MyCategory)
-(void) localizeToArray:(NSMutableArray *)ioArray {
  [ioArray addObject:[[NSBundle mainBundle] localizedStringForKey:self value:self table:nil]];
}
@end

@interface NSArray (MyCategory)
-(NSArray *) arrayWithLocalizedStrings;
@end

@implementation NSArray (MyCategory)
-(NSArray *) arrayWithLocalizedStrings {
  NSMutableArray *result = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:[self count]];
  [self makeObjectsPerformSelector:@selector(localizeToArray:) withObject:result];
  return result;
}
@end
