SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the setup of internationalization (i18n) infrastructure for iOS and macOS applications, enabling seamless support for multiple languages and regions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated i18n Setup: Generates necessary files and code structures for localization.
  • String Catalog Integration: Leverages modern String Catalogs for efficient translation management.
  • Type-Safe String Access: Provides generated Swift code for robust and maintainable localized string access.
  • Pluralization & Interpolation: Handles complex translation scenarios including plurals and dynamic text.
  • Use Case: A developer needs to prepare their iOS app for release in Spanish, German, and Japanese markets. This Skill will set up the project structure, generate initial translation files, and provide type-safe accessors for all UI text.

Quick Start

Generate localization infrastructure for an iOS app, supporting English, Spanish, and French, with pluralization enabled.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up internationalization in iOS using String Catalogs?

Set up internationalization in iOS by generating i18n infrastructure with String Catalogs. This process creates type-safe Swift string accessors and handles pluralization, enabling multi-language support for your application.

What is the best way to handle pluralization and string interpolation in Swift?

Handle Swift pluralization and string interpolation by generating type-safe string accessors from String Catalogs. This automates the management of complex translation scenarios, including dynamic text and plurals, for robust localized strings.

Do I need Xcode 14 to use String Catalogs for macOS development?

Yes, you need Xcode 14 or later to use String Catalogs for macOS development. This internationalization setup also requires targeting macOS 13 or later to properly support the modern localization infrastructure.

Can I implement runtime language switching in iOS 16 apps?

Yes, you can implement runtime language switching in iOS 16 apps. The generated internationalization infrastructure provides guidance on enabling dynamic language switching and offers support for RTL layouts within your application.

How do I prepare an iOS app for release in multiple language markets?

Prepare an iOS app for multiple language markets by generating the necessary localization project structure and translation files. This creates initial multi-language support for markets like Spanish, German, and Japanese with type-safe UI text accessors.
