SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually setting up internationalization (i18n) for iOS and macOS apps is time-consuming, error-prone, and often leads to inconsistent implementation of best practices like type-safe string access, pluralization, and RTL support. This Skill eliminates that overhead by generating a complete, production-ready i18n infrastructure tailored to your project's needs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Infrastructure Generation: Creates type-safe localization code, String Catalog configurations, and runtime language switching logic for iOS/macOS projects.
  • Flexible Localization Support: Works with both modern String Catalogs (iOS 16+/macOS 13+) and legacy .strings files for older deployment targets.
  • Built-in Best Practices: Includes pre-built support for pluralization, device-specific strings, RTL layout, and SwiftUI preview helpers, all following Apple's official localization guidelines.
  • Use Case: A SwiftUI developer building a global health app can use this Skill to instantly generate localization support for 10+ languages, including Arabic RTL layout, without writing boilerplate code or researching Apple's i18n APIs.

Quick Start

Use the localization-setup skill to generate complete internationalization infrastructure for your iOS app, configured for English, Spanish, and Arabic with type-safe string access, pluralization support, and RTL layout helpers.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up i18n infrastructure for a SwiftUI iOS app?▼

To set up i18n infrastructure for a SwiftUI iOS app, you configure String Catalogs, generate type-safe string access code, and implement runtime language switching, automating multi-language support creation without manual boilerplate.

What's the best way to add RTL layout support in a localized macOS app?▼

Adding RTL layout support in a localized macOS app is best achieved by generating pre-built RTL layout helpers that align with Apple's localization APIs. This ensures proper right-to-left rendering for languages like Arabic without manual layout adjustments.

Does i18n infrastructure generation work with legacy .strings files for older iOS deployment targets?▼

Yes, i18n infrastructure generation works with legacy .strings files for older iOS deployment targets. It supports both modern String Catalogs for iOS 16+/macOS 13+ and traditional .strings files to accommodate various deployment requirements.

How do I generate type-safe string access and pluralization rules for an iOS app?▼

Generating type-safe string access and pluralization rules for an iOS app involves automating String Catalog configurations and creating pre-built support for device-specific strings. This follows Apple's official localization guidelines for maintainable code.

Can I implement runtime language switching in a localized SwiftUI app without writing boilerplate?▼

You can implement runtime language switching in a localized SwiftUI app without writing boilerplate by automating the generation of the switching logic. This provides instant, production-ready multi-language support tailored to your project's specific needs.
