This app allows a developer to either start from scratch, or take an existing Xcode Localization strings catalog, and generate translations for Apple supported languages. The output can then be saved to a Localizable.xcstrings file to be included in your Xcode project.
Features
The following features are supported:
- Picklist of “supported” languages, based on macOS Sequoia’s
- Ability to create a .xcstring output file
- Ability to translate a list of strings to export
- Ability to import an existing .xcstring file and display the source strings in the translation view
- A secondary screen that allows you to look at the translations for the strings. You can select which language you’ve translated
- A base set of instructions as the default view in the text editor
- A cool icon
Future Ideas
While the MVP is feature complete, there are many more things I’d like to add:
- Ability to edit the translated strings directly in the app
- Ability to handle strings that have embedded “\n” newline characters
- Improved icon
- Ability to export a single language in a easier to read format, to share with friends and family
I’ve also decided to charge for this app. It’s a one time charge of only $4.99 in the US, with the appropriate amount in other countries.
