// In Xcode:
// 1. Select your project in the navigator
// 2. Go to Info tab > Localizations
// 3. Click + to add languages (e.g., German, Japanese)
// 4. Select which files to localize
//
// Xcode creates .lproj directories automatically:
// en.lproj/Localizable.strings
// de.lproj/Localizable.strings
// ja.lproj/Localizable.strings

// Base.lproj/Localizable.strings

"welcome_title" = "Welcome to MyApp";
"login_button" = "Sign In";
"settings_label" = "Settings";
"greeting" = "Hello, %@!";    // %@ = string placeholder
"item_count" = "%d items";     // %d = integer placeholder

// ❌ Common mistakes in .strings files:

// Missing semicolon — file loads but translations are empty
"welcome_title" = "Welcome"

// Unescaped quotes — causes parse error
"message" = "Click "here" to continue";

// ✅ Correct versions:
"welcome_title" = "Welcome";
"message" = "Click \"here\" to continue";

// Xcode 15+ String Catalog (Localizable.xcstrings)
// Xcode automatically extracts strings from your code
// and manages translations in a visual editor.

// In SwiftUI, strings are automatically localizable:
Text("Welcome to MyApp")
Text("Hello, \(userName)!")

// Mark strings explicitly:
let title = String(localized: "welcome_title")

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
    let userName: String

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            // ✅ SwiftUI auto-localizes string literals
            Text("welcome_title")

            // ⚠️ This does NOT localize (String interpolation)
            // Text("Hello, \(userName)")

            // ✅ Use String(localized:) for dynamic strings
            Text(String(localized: "greeting \(userName)"))

            // ✅ UIKit style (works everywhere)
            let title = NSLocalizedString(
                "settings_label",
                comment: "Settings screen title"
            )

            // ✅ Modern API (iOS 16+)
            let modern = String(
                localized: "welcome_title",
                comment: "Main screen title"
            )
        }
    }

# Push metadata to App Store Connect:

// 1. Xcode Scheme Override:
// Edit Scheme > Run > Options > App Language > Choose language

// 2. SwiftUI Preview with locale:
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        ContentView()
            .environment(\.locale, Locale(identifier: "de"))

        ContentView()
            .environment(\.locale, Locale(identifier: "ja"))

        ContentView()
            .environment(\.locale, Locale(identifier: "ar"))
    }
}

// 3. XCUITest with language override:
let app = XCUIApplication()
app.launchArguments += ["-AppleLanguages", "(de)"]
app.launchArguments += ["-AppleLocale", "de_DE"]
app.launch()
