After adding a few Localizations:

and localized the (AppName)-info.plist file:

and checked Bundle Resources (also tried to remove Go-info.plist from the Copy Resources Bundle list:

and the file property:

Xcode (4.6.3) give an error:

error: could not read data from '.../Go/Go/Go-Info.plist': The file “Go-Info.plist” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file.

It looks like Xcode ignores the localization folder in the path. It tried to find the info.plist as:

.../Go/Go/Go-Info.plist

instead of:

.../Go/Go/(Localization)/Go-Info.plist

How can I fix it?

I think Info.plist can not be localized. If you want to localize your application Name, you should localize the InfoPlist.strings file and use those keys :

"CFBundleDisplayName" = "AppName";
"CFBundleName" = "AppName";
