I thought I knew all about localization and then I accidentally started this video. And then you presented this awesome new feature of Xcode 15, namely the "StringCatalog", which is way more convenient and professional. Thanks for sharing your extraordinary knowledge here, I really appreciate it. ✌🏻🤩👍🏻
Great video, just one thing: The problem with deleting strings that you don't want to translate is that, at least for storyboards, the strings will come back in once you rebuild the app! What you can do instead is right click and select Mark as "Don't translate". It is a bit annoying that you cannot select more than one string there, but maybe one day.
Thank you for a nice overview! One thing, though: I wonder if it is also possible to add/customize the "zero case". For example: "I have no books", instead of the automatic "I have 0 books"?
Found it! You can Control-click the variant key and then select the Vary by Plural option. Then the 'zero' option shows up too 💪 (I am not sure if that option was there all the time, but at least in Xcode 15.3 it is available 🤓)
How many years will it take until CMake can use this feature? Have they even the old string tables implemented? There was a reason why i wrote my own xcodeproj generator (based on the same name rubygem). Sometimes being a control freak pays back.
Can I change the language while the app is open? for example via a Picker? If yes, any suggestions? Because I defined a method that sets the UserDefaults for key "AppleLanguages" and after that I call .synchronize() method.. but to see a change, I have to restart the app
Has anyone experienced crash on commit for the localizable? I have a very big localizable (10k+ lines), and it now crashes on me every time I’m trying to commit any change to it.
That's interesting. I would have a hard time telling if you are French or German. I would guess you're probably from a border region between the two countries.
If u add some items manually and wonder why pluralizations is not available just add %lld into the key. That will bring availability to specify plurals. It was not abvoius for me
In this age of AI, wouldn't it be easier if we just use legacy string files because it's more of copy paste operation, when you update one language to another? the string catalog seems to make it hard to update.

The tutorial is very clear

Clear and comprehensive, thank you very much!
This is a very useful walkthrough of the string catalogs. Thank you for sharing.
This makes it so much easier to localize an app especially if it’s not localized at start :before it could be a mess to find every place not localized
Danke! Tolles Video!
Just what I needed! Looks really neat. Thank you!
Thank you very much for the in-depth real case examples!
Oh, it's a really good theme for a video. Now I really need it.
Thanks, that was great. My app has large localizable files in 11 languages.
Awesome video! Vielen Dank 🙏
Thanks a lot, Karin! I was translating the iTunes app from your project and this will be very useful!
I haven’t even supported dark mode yet, I better get started on dark mode before I worry about localization. Thanks a lot Karin- this is great though!
Thanks man you're a life saver
Thank you 😍
Very good. Thank you.
Amazing content!! I learn a lot from this so detailed video, cooooool~
Could someone tell me plz, where is the video about working with Date()? thanks in advanced
Danke für dieses Video, du hast mir sehr geholfen.👏🏻
Hello Karin , please can you make an Tutorial on Navigation Route
Now my life much more easier, thank
Thank you so much!
Danke! :)

Vidéo super utile! Merci! #french

Do you know how the new string catalog handles terms of address? Masculine vs feminine in Spanish for example?
it's very useful video but how can I change language in view or viewModel
Is there any way to export the xloc in a non-mac friendly way?
Can I change the language while the app is open? for example via a Picker? If yes, any suggestions? Because I defined a method that sets the UserDefaults for key "AppleLanguages" and after that I call .synchronize() method.. but to see a change, I have to restart the app
Yes I have done this. My picker had to change the @AppStorage(“languageCode”) from “en” to “pl” or “uk” for example.
Can we also do that usin in app setting ?
Is this only works on SwiftUI?
But how to delete language from string catalogue? Is it even possible?
Has anyone experienced crash on commit for the localizable? I have a very big localizable (10k+ lines), and it now crashes on me every time I’m trying to commit any change to it.
