How to localize view in xcode4?

I want to localize my iOS project in xcode4. In xcode4 this seems to be very simple. In the utility sidebar there is a localization panel where I can add languages.

Adding a language I get following structure:

enter image description here

I want to localize a button. So I open MainWindow.xib (German) and just edit the title of the button. But when I run my project on both device or simulator I always get the english version even if it is set to German.

Where is the problem? Any ideas?

Delete the app from the device or simulator. If you've launched it before you've added the localization there is still a MainWindow.xib in the root file structure of the project.
If you deploy from Xcode files are only added, never removed.

So you have three files now.

MainWindow.xib 
de.lproj/MainWindow.xib 
en.lproj/MainWindow.xib

And as long there is a file in the root folder iOS doesn't look into the language specific folders.

Go into settings on the iPhone or Simulator and change the International from English to German, then restart the app.
