Localization¶

Extension¶

Using Extension String

import Foundation

extension String {
    var localStr: String {
        return NSLocalizedString(self, comment: "")
    }
}

Strings File¶

Define file Localizable.strings

/* 
  Localizable.strings
*/

// MARK: - Navigation
"home.name.placeholder" = "Sense";
"home.data.info" = "My Data";
"home.user.name" = "Kautilya";
"browse.data.info" = "Browse Data";
"settings.info" = "Open Settings";
"settings.ui.mode" = "Choose UI Mode";
"settings.team.name" = "Our Core Team";

Access¶

Accessing the strings from localized datastore, so it is overall cleaned approach with how getter works with strings without adding extra bloat or verbose code.

home.title.text = Texts.title.rawValue.localized,
home.username.text = Texts.user.rawValue.localized,

Enums¶

Use enums to avoid long string access, and these enums would be limited to specific files of classes. Like this enum would be defined in specifically for specific class “home”. Home -> Texts -> Title

private enum Texts: String {
        case title = "home.name.placeholder"
        case user = "home.user.name"
    case description = "authorization.required.description"
    case cancel = "authorization.required.cancel"
    case confirm = "authorization.required.confirm"

}
