Localized

Localized is a simple framework that improves i18n and localization in Swift iOS apps - providing cleaner syntax and in-app language switching. This framework is modified from marmelroy's Localize-Swift.

Features

Keep the Localizable.strings file your app already uses.
Allow your users to change the app's language without changing their device language.
Use .localized() instead of NSLocalizedString(key, comment) - a more Swifty syntax.
Generate your strings with a new genstrings swift script that recognises .localized(), .localizedFormat(_:) and so on.

Usage

Import Localized at the top of each Swift file that will contain localized text.

Add .localized() following any String object you want translated:

textLabel.text = "Hello World".localized()

To get an array of available localizations:

Localization.availableLanguages()

To change the current language:

Localization.setCurrentLanguage("fr")

To update the UI in the viewcontroller where a language change can take place, observe LCLLanguageChangeNotification :

NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: "setText", name: LCLLanguageDidChangeNotification, object: nil)

To reset back to the default app language:

Localization.resetCurrentLanguageToDefault()

genstrings

To support this new i18n syntax, Localized includes custom genstrings swift scripts.

Copy the genstrings.swift file into your project's root folder and run with

./genstrings.swift

This will print the collected strings in the terminal. Select and copy to your default Localizable.strings.

The swift genstrings includes the ability to specify excluded directories and files (by editing the script).

Installation

Carthage

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that automates the process of adding frameworks to your Cocoa application.

You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:

$ brew update
$ brew install carthage

To integrate Log into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:

github "kAzec/Localized"
