Taanshi,

So...  Set up is a bit fiddly?  Perhaps a silly question, but are there any localization problems between the US and Canada for iOS?  Can an app hold and switch between two different orthographies?  What language is the code for the app in?  We are using flex for a dictionary project...

Kihchi-marsii.  Thanks.

Eekoshi pitamaa.

I have also made iOS dictionaries using it but that has been more problematic. I suspect it's because of international localization issues. I'm in the US but trying to distribute dictionaries in Australia. This hasn't been a problem with the Android ones but while I can see and test iOS on my devices, I haven't been able to share them with colleagues in Australia.
