How does it handle Right-to-Left (RTL) languages?

It includes best practices for SwiftUI layout mirroring, such as using leading/trailing constraints instead of left/right, and provides strategies for testing RTL UI in Xcode previews.

Does this skill support older .strings files?

While the skill prioritizes modern String Catalogs (.xcstrings), it provides comprehensive guidance on migrating from legacy .strings and .stringsdict formats to current standards.

Can it help with pluralization and grammar?

Yes, it guides you through setting up CLDR plural categories (zero, one, few, many, other) and using iOS 17+ inflection syntax for automatic grammatical agreement.

Is this compatible with UIKit projects?

Yes, while it highlights SwiftUI's LocalizedStringKey, it also covers programmatic localization using String(localized:) and LocalizedStringResource which work across all Apple frameworks.

Mobile Development

Implements and optimizes multi-language support for modern iOS and macOS applications using String Catalogs and Swift 6 conventions.

This skill empowers developers to integrate robust internationalization into Apple platform apps by leveraging the latest Swift and SwiftUI paradigms. It provides deep expertise in String Catalogs (.xcstrings), ensures correct handling of complex plurals and grammatical inflections, and automates locale-aware formatting for dates, currencies, and measurements using FormatStyle. By following modern best practices, it helps developers avoid common localization pitfalls, ensures Right-to-Left (RTL) compatibility, and streamlines the translation workflow for global markets.
