Localize your views easily in Interface Builder with IBLocalizable.
With IBLocalizable , you can localize your views in Interface Builder easily. Simply set the new Localizable String property that shows up in Interface builder to the value that you added in your Localizable .string file . Most views can be localized this way without a single line of code .
Add .Package(url: "https://github.com/PiXeL16/IBLocalizable.git",majorVersion: 1) to your Package.swift
Add pod 'IBLocalizable' to your Podfile.
Add github "PiXeL16/IBLocalizable" to your Cartfile.
Download and drop /IBLocalizable in your project.
Custom views can be supported easily. Just create an extension and implement the Localizable Protocol.
If your custom view extends from UIView you only need to extend your custom view and implement the localizableProperty .
For example: lets say that I have a custom view that contains several UILabel and a UIImageView . I will like to localize one of the UILabel .
import UIKit extension MyCustomView { public override var localizableProperty: String?{ get{ return self.label.text } set{ self.label.text = newValue } } }
Thats it!
After the package its installed simply open your Storyboard or Interface Builder . All of the supported views will show a new Localizable String property.
Since everything is extension based, IBLocalizable should play nice with other libraries or pods that you are using.
Since IBLocalizable only uses IBInspectable and never IBDesignable , your incremental builds will continue to work. ( http://www.openradar.me/20690594 )
In the Xcode Project you can find a sample project of a simple Login view controller. All of this is automatically localizable in English and Spanish by just using IBLocalizable .
