Localization

in Xcode

• first you need to generate teh string to localize using genstrings (see below)
• in xcode you can follow the geek-tricks
  • https://geek-is-stupid.github.io/2015-03-21-how-to-manage-all-localized-strings-in-your-ios-project-xcode/

using genstrings

 for objective c files
 find . -name \*.m | xargs genstrings -o en.lproj

 for swift files
 find . -name \*.swift | xargs genstrings -o en.lproj

 across several folders
 find ./ -name "*.m" -print0 | xargs -0 genstrings -o en.lproj

 another tool exists to settle issues with swift :
