What is the recommended key naming convention?

The skill suggests a clear 'module.screen.element.property' hierarchy, such as 'auth.login.button.submit', to keep large projects organized.

Why use LocalizedStringResource over standard strings?

LocalizedStringResource provides a type-safe way to manage strings, making your localization layer more robust and easier to refactor than raw string keys.

Can it handle pluralization automatically?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns that trigger system-level plural rules in .xcstrings files when using dynamic variables.

Does this skill support older Swift versions?

This skill focuses on modern APIs available in Swift 5.7 and 5.9+, specifically targeting String Catalogs and type-safe resources.

Does it work with SwiftUI previews?

Absolutely, it includes snippets for testing multiple locales simultaneously using the .environment(\.locale) modifier in #Preview blocks.

Mobile Development

Automates internationalization for Swift and SwiftUI applications using modern localization APIs and best practices.

About

This skill transforms Claude into a Swift localization specialist, ensuring every user-facing string in your iOS, macOS, or visionOS app is properly localized. It enforces the use of modern APIs like String Catalogs and LocalizedStringResource, provides type-safe implementation patterns, and handles complex scenarios like pluralization and locale-aware formatting. By preventing hardcoded strings and following standardized naming conventions, it streamlines the translation workflow and ensures apps are ready for global distribution from the start.
