L10n-swift is a simple framework that improves localization in swift app, providing cleaner syntax and in-app language switching.
Overview
🌟 Features
- Change the language of your apps "on the fly".
- IBInspectable for Xcode Interface Builder (Cocoa - coming soon).
- Support for user-defined
Localizable
file names. - Support for formats:
*.plist
,*.json
,*.stringsdict
,*.strings
. - Support for grouping localization keys.
- Support for plural forms in any language with multiple arguments.
- Support for pseudo-languages:
NonLocalized
,DoubleLength
,Accented
,Bounded
,ForcedRightToLeft
. - Use
.l10n()
to localize any string, date and numbers. - Use more than one language at the same time.
- About 25 times faster than a native solution.
