Super lightweight library that helps you to localize strings, even directly in storyboards

Translatio

Example

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.

Requirements

iOS 9 or higher. Swift 5.

Installation

Translatio is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod "Translatio"

Usage

Code

Translatio provides 2 additions to the String objects :

  • localized property
  • localized(withBundle:tableName) method

They can both be used easily in code, this is an example :

let hello = "UI.Home.Hello".localized
let anotherHello = "UI.Home.Hello".localized(withBundle: Bundle.main, tableName: "Labels")

Interface Builder (storyboard and xib)

Translatio adds extensions to all the most common UI elements such as UIButton, UITextField, UITextView, UILabel, UIBarButtonItem, UINavigationItem. The extensions provide an @IBInspectable property that can be modified directly in the storyboard. This gives a very big advantage in localizing interface files.

As you can see the UILabel now has a Localizable Text property that can be modified directly in the IB.
