On reflection, I don’t think it’s good for WebLocalizedStringWithValue inlines to be inside extern "C"; I also don’t like the formatting with the #if right up against the functions, but blank lines between the two functions. I’d move WebLocalizedStringWithValue down below. And I’d even consider using a macro for the NS/CF_FORMAT_ARGUMENT so we don’t have to repeat the WebLocalizedStringWithValue function twice.

OK.

Wouldn’t we still need to repeat at least the function signature because of the return types being different?

Might need a typedef too, yes.
