NSLog always prints my key instead of my translation

Question

I'm creating a NSError like this:

    NSMutableDictionary* details = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
    [details setValue:@"REQUEST_UNKNOWN_CONVERT_FOR_ENDPOINT" forKey:NSLocalizedDescriptionKey];
    NSError * error = [NSError errorWithDomain:DOMAIN code:200 userInfo:details];

where REQUEST_... is my key in my translation file (Localizable.strings).

when I get an error I try to print it like this:

  NSLog(@"%@", [error localizedDescription]);

It just prints my REQUEST_UNKNOWN...(my key) out instead of my translation.

Am I doing something wrong?

How is it supposed to work then? You expect `localizedDescription` to fetch a translation from file? — trojanfoe, Jul 17 '14 at 11:31

[details setObject:NSLocalizedString(@"REQUEST_UNKNOWN_CONVERT_FOR_ENDPOINT", Nil) forKey:NSLocalizedDescriptionKey];

You have to put value as localizedString, while you are adding it as standard NSString.
