Announcing New Course: Multi-Language Support with Localization in iOS!

Announcing new Pro Course: Multi-Language Support with Localization in iOS!

Pop quiz: Your app passes all tests with flying colors, you have your launch marketing down pat, your beta testers love the product — what could you possibly be missing that would make your app a global success?

With the painless global distribution capabilities of the App Store, you can release your app in over 150 countries with a single click — but you better believe those users will expect some level of support in their local language!

Take localization and multi-language support from an afterthought, to a core feature of your app, in our new Multi-Language Support with Localization in iOS course!

Keep reading to hear more about it from course instructor, Emad Ghorbaninia:

Why should I take your multi-language and localization course for iOS?

"If you're thinking about globalization, or already have an app that you want to expand to support different languages, this course is for you!

When you're ready to localize your project, this course will help you make your life easier by showing you how to auto-generate strings files using your Swift code, and how to run tests to avoid making any mistakes."

How do you use multi-language support in your job?

"I mostly use multi-language support in localization for UITests, and automatically generate screenshots with different languages. I also use this course to communicate with the translators by using the XML Localization Interchange File Format known as XLIFF."

What surprised you about this topic when making the course?

"When I was watching one of the WWDC videos while preparing this course, I realized Apple has an unreleased internal app for editing XCLOC! With that app, you can see everything you need, including the location of the elements on the screenshots when you're going to translate any UI related keys.

The good news is when you generate the XCLOC in the screenshots folder, you'll have the plist file, which indicates the location of each key on the screenshots."

Can you please share a cool localization tip with us?

"There are two excellent tips in this course: First, you don't need to use NSLocalizableString in the SwiftUI classes; it's already built-in.

Second, you can easily make a Swift package for your localizable assets and reuse it in different projects, such as a macOS or tvOS app."

Is there anything else we should know about your course?

"Remember you should have internationalization set up in your project before starting this course, but if you don't, no worries — you can check out our article, Internationalizing Your iOS App: Getting Started, to get you up and running."
