Requirements

• iOS 9.0+
• Xcode 8.0+
• Swift 3.0+

Installation

All logic is in Localizable.swift file. Just copy this file to your project.

Usage

Localize your project

1. Create Localizable.strings file

2. In Localizable.strings file tap Localize button and select english language.

3. In project file add supported languages.

4. Recommendation: do not localize storyboards or xibs. Make it simpler. Put all your localized strings in Localizable.strings file.

5. Reproduce step 2 for needed languages.

Localization

1. Recommendation: do not localize storyboards/xibs. Always set strings from code.

2. Extend enum Language with appropriate languages used in the project

enum Language: String {
    
    case english = "en"
    case arabic = "ar"
    case ukrainian = "uk"
    //...

Get appropriate localized string

"main_page_language".localized

Get appropriate localized image

"flag".localizedImage

Change language in the app

To change language just set Language case to Language.language static property. It will change app language and semantic if need. To enable changes it will restart the app within instantiating initial view controller from Main storyboard.

• Important: use appropriate properties described above.

Language.language = Language.english

Programatically Constraints not Supported?

I try to implement the localize for programmatically constraints but not working

Unable to reset text fields semantic.

Hello
Once the test field sets its semantic from right to left then again change the language to English do not effect on it.

Thanks

There is Edit in Your Code replace 'string' with 'stringArray'

I think following edit is required in get section of Language in your code

if let arrcode = UserDefaults.standard.stringArray(forKey: AppUserDefault.appleLanguagesKey.rawValue),let lang = arrcode.first,let language = Language(rawValue: lang){
print("get userDefault - language (language)")
return language
}

Localization error from english to arabic

when i open the app with english language and try to change language it only change semantic but doesn't change the language to arabic, but when the app is opened in arabic it works fine , how can i solve this problem
