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.

📘 Usage

Import L10n_swift at the top of each Swift file that will use framework.

import L10n_swift

Get localized text

Add .l10() following any String object you want localized:

"hello.world".l10n()

Get localized number

Add .l10() following number you want localized. Using the number format for the current language:

12.l10n()
24.l10n(minIntegerDigits: 4)
1.61803.l10n()
2.71828.l10n(fractionDigits: 2)

3.14.l10n { formatter in
    formatter.numberStyle = .currency
}

Get localized date

Add .l10() following any Date object you want localized using the date format for the current language:

Date().l10n()

Date().l10n { formatter in
    formatter.dateStyle = .medium
}

Get plural

Add .l10nPlural(CVarArg...) following any String object you want translated with plurals:

"numberOfApples".l10nPlural(2)

More about plurals, you can read on wiki

Observe language changed

Add observer for notification L10nLanguageChanged. This notification is called when language has been changed.

NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(
    self, selector: #selector(self.yourFunction), name: .L10nLanguageChanged, object: nil
)

Set language

L10n.shared.language = "en"

At runtime, you can switch the language at any time by setting the language property.
