Non-English Letters In App Name

Hi

I just released my first Corona app and it´s doing quite okay. But there is a thing that bugs me a lot. The app is for the Norwegian market only, and like many other nations we have non-English letters in our language. In my case there are three of these letters in the Norwegian language Æ, Ø and Å.

My app name has these characters in it, and when I build for device the Corona automatically cuts the app name before the special letter. And in my case the name of the app is only one letter! Which is quite dumb as the app is already released and I´ve spent months trying to brand the name. Is there any way I can get the app name to contain these special letters???

Thanks

Hey, @aliennude, is it the display name you want to customize?  If so, have you tried setting CFBundleDisplayName in build.settings, assuming you are talking about iOS version.  (I don’t think it works on Android version… at least I’m not aware of how it should be handled for Android.)

iphone = {

    plist = {

        – if we want to shorten the game name on homescreen, use CFBundleDisplayName        

        – we can use this for foreign language title name

       CFBundleDisplayName = “My Special App Name”,

    },

}

I actually need to know how we may do this for Android version too, so I posted a new thread specifically asking about it here:

Edit:  Just figured out all I needed to do was to change the Application name at the time of generating an APK.  Should’ve looked sooner:
