Is this true? When you instantiate a UIAlertButton, you have to pass it an explicit title for the Cancel button, like so:

UIAlertView *av = 
    [[UIAlertView alloc] 
         initWithTitle:@"Error" 
         message:err.localizedDescription 
         delegate:nil 
         cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" 
         otherButtonTitles:nil];

That means that if you want a localized app (which of course you do), you have to localize the Cancel string too, even though Apple has obviously got a canonical translation already. Am I really forced to write something like this to handle it (or is this even OK)?

NSBundle* uikitBundle = [NSBundle bundleForClass:[UIButton class]];
UIAlertView *av = 
    [[UIAlertView alloc] 
         initWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"Error", @"Title for Alert box when error occurs") 
         message:err.localizedDescription 
         delegate:nil 
         cancelButtonTitle:NSLocalizedStringFromTableInBundle(@"Cancel", @"Localizable", uikitBundle, nil) 
         otherButtonTitles:nil];

This looks horrible to me, but the idea that I have to maintain my own translations of words mandated by Apple's HIG (like "Cancel" or "OK") seems equally absurd.
