iOS Localization & Assets Standards

Priority: P1

Implementation Guidelines

Localization (L10n)

  • String Catalogs (.stringcatalog): Use for primary localization in Xcode 15+. It provides a visual editor and compile-time checks for missing translations.
  • Native Implementation: Use String(localized: "key") or LocalizedStringResource. Avoid manual NSLocalizedString where possible.
  • Pluralization: Use String Catalogs' built-in pluralization support instead of complex code logic.
  • Formatting: Use Formatted API for dates, numbers, and currencies to respect the user's locale.

Asset Management

  • Asset Catalogs (.xcassets): Keep assets organized. Use folders with "Provides Namespace" enabled for large projects.
  • SF Symbols: Use for standard icons to ensure consistency and accessibility.
  • Vector Assets: Use PDF or SVG and enable "Preserve Vector Data" for resolution independence.

Best Practices

  • Hardcoded Strings: Never use hardcoded strings in UI. Every user-facing string must be localized.
  • Base Bundle: Ensure Base localization is complete before adding other languages.

Anti-Patterns

  • No manual currency symbol concat: Use NumberFormatter or .formatted(.currency).
  • No loose png/jpg files in repo: Always use Asset Catalogs.
  • No placeholder strings: Ensure 100% coverage in String Catalogs.
