Hey team!
It is possible to translate the app name for iOS with de.lproj folders. It tried that for Mac Desktop builds without luck. Any hint how to make it work on Mac Desktop?
Thank you
You can only localize the app name in the window’s title bar. The file name of your app bundle can only have 1 name of course (just like any other file in the file system).
Have a look at the following documentation on how to localize the desktop window’s name. This works for both OS X and Win32 desktop apps.

I don’t think so. It’s similar to translating app names in iOS. Apps and even folder names can be internationalized on Mac OS X.
If you change your Mac OS X language to German, you will recognize that some of Apples (and other) apps have different names. Maps for example is “Karten” now. Navigate your Finder to your home directory and you will see that the folder “Desktop” is “Schreibtisch”, “Music” is “Musik” and so on.
I know it works with this de.lproj-Folders, somehow similar to iOS. But something needs to be changed in Corona build mechanism for putting things together correctly.
What we provide right now is the ability to localize window’s title bar name.
