Localization

My notes on adding localization to an iOS app

Setup:

Create the Localization.strings file from file -> strings file
Click the .strings file and in the right pan, click localize
Click the .strings file again and you can now add sub-languages
In scehme, add spanish etc.
Add language content, see the format paragraph:

Format:

In the sub .strings file name …spanish.strings add:

"Freedom" = "Libre";
"The world" = "El mundo";

Example:

/**
 * Localization
 */
extension MainTabBarController {
   /**
    * Testing loalization
    * ## Examples:
    * Swift.print("testTitle:  \(NSLocalizedString("Bookmarks", comment: ""))")
    */
   func testLocalization() {
      let preferredLanguage = NSLocale.preferredLanguages[0]
      if preferredLanguage == "en" {
         print("👌 this is English")
      } else if NSLocale.preferredLanguages[0].range(of: "es") != nil {
         print("👌 this is spanish")
      }
   }
}
