How to remove localization from file

ios, localization, xcode

Solution

This is a pretty stupid way, but the only one I found out working if you want to restore the default:

- Move the xib or Storyboard files from the `Base.lproj`folder to your main project folder back (within the Finder).

- Delete the reference of the XIB/Storyboard files (in XCode)

- Reimport all of them back to your XCode project and you are done

Problem

I'm trying to unlocalize xib and storyboard files, and keep all strings in Localizable.strings. How do I do this in XCode? I've tried to uncheck all languages in the File Inspector, but if I remove the last language the whole file disappears. A file that is not localized looks like this: Unlocalized files wont appear when you add a new language or when you export localizations with xliff.
