Incredibly proud of my team for shipping String Catalogs in Xcode! We’re on a mission to make localizing apps as easy as possible. #WWDC23

[Matthew Seaman @mattbseaman]

In Xcode 15, we're excited to introduce String Catalogs, a new experience for managing localizable strings in Xcode. Check out the details in this session:

🗣️ Internationalization.

This one is especially time consuming for solo devs (mostly we just don't do it very well), I'm going to be using it a lot I think

To quickly check which strings are localizable in our SwiftUI app and make sure we are not missing any, we can preview our UI in the Accented Pseudolanguage available in scheme settings in Xcode. Strings shown without accents are not localizable.

One of the biggest comforts of tradition and religion is a reminder that some version of what you are going through has likely been lived through before.

The “designer” and “engineer” labels don’t always apply so neatly. My current job is a combination of these roles, and I don’t think about design or engineering separately, but making great products holistically.

[Natalia Panferova @natpanferova]

When we export localizations from a SwiftUI project in Xcode, it can automatically extract localizable strings and comments from Text views, as well as strings from String(localized:) API. The generated files can be sent to translators and imported back. https://t.co/tqhzdfHMPh

Preparing my Text workshop for @tryswiftworld this week https://t.co/DdydHgG2QG and realizing again how many ways we have to create Text from a string in SwiftUI and how it's treated differently in terms of localization by SwiftUI and the Export Localizations tool in Xcode 🤯

Oh dear.

Exactly 20 years ago we, some of us at Apple India, gave a proposal to Apple HQ to send knocked down kits for assembling iPods in India. The proposal was justifiably rejected. Today Apple has announced it will manufacture iPhone 14 in India. How wonderful is that!

Working on a product you use yourself is one of the most underrated happiness and productivity hacks in the world.
