iOS Replace Dot With Comma In StringWithFormat:Float?

[Darkroom]

ok... so i have a string that displays a floating point number with 2 decimal places. by default, float displays with a period. however, my app is localized into french (english dev base), and in québec and france, numbers are displayed with a comma, not a period.

self.myNumberString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.2f", aFloat];

how do i display this string float with a comma IF it is currently being viewed in french localization?

Look at NSNumberFormatter.

Use localizedStringWithFormat: instead?

humm... localizedStringWithFormat doesn't seem to be working for me, although after reading about it on the docs, it's exactly what i'm looking for. here's my code:

self.lightSizeString = [NSString localizedStringWithFormat:@"%.2f x %.2f %@", ((dragFrame.origin.x + kDragViewWidthHeight - centerPoint.x) * 2) / 163, ((dragFrame.origin.y + kDragViewWidthHeight - centerPoint.y) * 2) / 163, self.lightSizeUnit];

the resulting string in french environment still displays the dot instead of the comma.

i've attached a tiny sample project. switching the simulator (or device) into French results in the string's float still being displayed with a dot.

any ideas?

switching the simulator (or device) into French...

Did you remember to switch your Region Format (Format régional) as well?
