iOS Change the title of cancel button in UISearchBar

Question

I wish to change the title of the cancel button in iOS. I have been using this previously:

- (void)searchDisplayControllerWillBeginSearch:(UISearchDisplayCon

You need to search for the button recursively. This should be a fail-safe way to do it:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    [self convertButtonTitle:@"Cancel" toTitle:@"Annuller" inView:self.searchBar];
}

- (void)convertButtonTitle:(NSString *)from toTitle:(NSString *)to inView:(UIView *)view
{
    if ([view isKindOfClass:[UIButton class]])
    {
        UIButton *button = (UIButton *)view;
        if ([[button titleForState:UIControlStateNormal] isEqualToString:from])
        {
            [button setTitle:to forState:UIControlStateNormal];
        }
    }

    for (UIView *subview in view.subviews)
    {
        [self convertButtonTitle:from toTitle:to inView:subview];
    }
}

I've tested this on iOS 7 only, but it works and should do so for iOS 6 too.
