Thanks!
Actually, I'm coming from

	[[[WOApplication application] resourceManager] stringForKey:aKey 
inTableNamed:@"Localizable" withDefaultValue:nil 
inFramework:GSWFramework_all languages:[[self session] languages]]


I remember, that this used to work with Apple's WO, but now with GSW I 
have this problem. Does that mean, that we have to change our approach 
in GSW?


Thanks
