Localization - Add additional language to localizable.strings file

I have found this post about how to add localization to an app. The answer is very extensive and very helpful.

There is just one thing:

When selecting the 'Localizable.strings' file I open the File Inspector and I click on the button 'Make localized..' within the Localization pane. In the pop-up I can select a language but there is actually only one language to select form; English. There are no other options. But OK, having the option English selected I click on the button 'Localize'.

Now, in the file inspector, within the Localization pane I see the option English selected.

My problem: I do not have a '+' button to add an additional language.

Doe anybody know what is causing this? How can I add an additional language? I am using Xcode 4.4.

You have to add the localization first in the "Localization" section of the "Info" tab for the project. Once added to the project, the new localization is available for the strings file.
