Hi,

my app Well Tempered is localized into multiple languages, and I want to make UI tests that work in all languages.

First off, how do I set my app to launch in Spanish? I tried combinations of

app.launchArguments = ["-AppleLanguages", "es"]

without much luck.

Secondly, of course all my accessibility labels are localized. Should I create localization ids and use them, or should I use the same .strings files as in my app and use NSLocalizedString everywhere where the examples have shown strings?

Thirdly, when I launch my app I can provide a directory of Application Data. How do I do this for UI tests, and how do I choose a set of application data per language?

Cheers

Nik
