<p>The widget display name is a text string defined in the widget <a href="GUID-BBA0299B-81B6-4508-8D5B-5627206CBF7B.html#GUID-BBA0299B-81B6-4508-8D5B-5627206CBF7B"><code>info.plist</code></a> file and specified by the <code><DisplayName></code> key.</p>
<p>To localize the display name of a widget:</p>
<ol>
<li id="GUID-F1AE54DE-C56C-4073-9720-27D35C2E9479"><a name="GUID-F1AE54DE-C56C-4073-9720-27D35C2E9479"><!----></a><p>Define a localized display name in a file called <code>infoplist.strings</code>.</p></li>
<li id="GUID-080D59FD-49B8-4850-AB1A-C1AAD33DF9E4"><a name="GUID-080D59FD-49B8-4850-AB1A-C1AAD33DF9E4"><!----></a><p>Store the file under the appropriate <a href="GUID-71BE0F0B-B6B2-475C-A87B-A04E207F3292.html#GUID-71BE0F0B-B6B2-475C-A87B-A04E207F3292">language project directory</a>.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>The following is an example display name definition in an <code>infoplist.strings</code> file:</p>
<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-796D111F-F58C-4516-B28B-5A5196DB15C3">DisplayName = "Localized name"</pre>
<p>When a widget is being installed, the installer searches for the <code>infoplist.strings</code> file under a language project directory that matches with the current device system language. If the installer finds the <code>infoplist.strings</code> file and a localized name is provided, the localized name overrides the display name defined in the widget <a href="GUID-BBA0299B-81B6-4508-8D5B-5627206CBF7B.html#GUID-BBA0299B-81B6-4508-8D5B-5627206CBF7B"><code>info.plist</code></a> file.</p>
<div class="note"><p><strong class="note_title">Note: </strong>The display name is loaded only once, when a widget is being installed. If users change the system language later, the display name is not changed.</p></div>
