SwiftLingo

Localization is time-consuming so I made a package to automate the task.

Steps to setup, only take a few minutes!

1. Import the pacakge https://github.com/kumarneel/SwiftLingo
2. Setup a folder Localizable called where you would like to store your localized information

• Create a .swift file called LocalizableStrings

• Create a .xcstrings file called Localizable, Xcode will automatically call it by this name

  

3. Go to Project Settings tab Info

• Go to the Localization Section

4. Click + and add any Language that you would like to translate into

• NOTE, these language codes are important and will passed into SwiftPackage Initializer

5. Go back to your Localizable.xcstrings file. The new language will automatically appear next to English

Usage

Create your first key in your English Translation file

"log_in_title" = "Login";

Import SPM SwiftLingo Package

Initialize in AppDelegate or anywhere AND RUN ON SIMULATOR

// 'fr' is the French Language Code
SL.initialize(
    // Path to the root directory where files are stored
    directoryPath: "/Users/photos/Desktop/Localization/SwiftLingoTest/SwiftLingoTest/Localization",
    desiredLanguages: ["en", "fr"],
    openAPIKey: "your_API_KEY"
)

Watch as files auto-populate once logs are complete

Use localized string variable in View

import SwiftUI
import SwiftLingo

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text(LocalizableStrings.log_in_title)
        }
        .padding()
        .onAppear {
            SL.initialize(
                directoryPath: "/Users/photos/Desktop/RE/TestSwiftLingo/TestSwiftLingo/Localizable",
                desiredLanguages: ["en", "fr"],
                openAPIKey: "YOUR_API_KEY"
            )
        }
    }
}

#Preview {
    ContentView()
}
