Same app with different app icon and app name due to localization

Can I have 2 (or more) different app name and app icons in config.xml for localization, or should I generate separate apps for each language?

(The inner html/functions are incidental as the user can select the app's language inside the app. I am only unsure the app name and app icon - the ones that need to set in config.xml.)

Many Thanks!

P.S. I have no experience in how localization works in Apple AppStore or Android Market.
P.S.2. I am using PhoneGap Build

Hey Annielhy,

Unfortunately there are not a lot of options for localizing build parameters such as the name, etc.

Localizing the actual application contents will be a lot easier however as you can do it through JavaScript. (use an existing framework)

We may revisit this in the future however the current solution is building multiple versions of the application.
