Localization

Creating localization keys

There are three ways XCode generates localization keys from strings:

  1. Automatically, from the texts used in standard components Text, Label, Button, etc.

  2. All strings passed to view variables and function parameters declared as LocalizedStringKey type. Only string constants (possibly, with interpolation) or other variables of type LocalizedStringKey can be passed to these parameters. See, for example, ContentView.swift.

  3. All strings wrapped in NSLocalizedString. Please note that such strings do not support swift interpolation, instead formatted strings should be used:

String.localizedStringWithFormat(NSLocalizedString("You can now send messages to %@", comment: "notification body"), value)

Adding strings to the existing localizations

  1. Choose Product -> Export Localizations... in the menu, choose ios folder as the destination and SimpleX Localizations as the folder name, confirm to overwrite it (make sure not to save to subfolder).
  2. Add target keys to the localizations that were added or changed.
  3. Choose Product -> Import Localizations... for any non-English folders - that would update Localizable files.

Localizable files values can be edited directly, the changes will be included in the next export. Following the process above though guarantees that all strings are localized.

Development

Make sure to enable the option Show non-localized strings in Product -> Scheme -> Edit scheme... menu - it will be showing all non-localized strings as all caps.
