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)

Observe language changed

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