How does it handle pluralization?

It helps you define plural variations (zero, one, other) within the String Catalog and implements the generated type-safe functions that accept numeric parameters.

Can I use it to refactor existing projects?

Yes, it is designed to identify hardcoded strings in existing Swift files and provide a step-by-step workflow to migrate them to Localizable.xcstrings.

Does this skill require external tools like xcstrings-tool?

No, this skill specifically utilizes Xcode 26's native symbol generation feature, which eliminates the need for external third-party tools for type-safety.

Does it support localization in Swift Packages?

Yes, it supports the #bundle macro introduced by Apple to ensure the correct resource bundle is accessed within modular architectures.

What are the requirements for this skill?

It requires Xcode 26 or later and the 'Generate String Catalog Symbols' build setting to be enabled in your iOS project.

Automates type-safe iOS app localization using Xcode 26 String Catalogs and native symbol generation.

This skill streamlines the localization process for iOS applications by leveraging Xcode 26’s native String Catalog (.xcstrings) features. It helps developers identify hardcoded UI strings, maps them to the String Catalog, and implements type-safe Swift symbols to replace manual string keys. By utilizing the latest Xcode features, it handles complex scenarios like pluralization, parameterized strings, and multi-table organization, ensuring your localization workflow is robust, type-safe, and follows modern Apple development best practices without requiring external tools.
