+# iOS Localization & Internationalization
+
+Localize iOS 26+ apps using String Catalogs, modern string types, FormatStyle, and RTL-aware layout. Localization mistakes cause App Store rejections in non-English markets, mistranslated UI, and broken layouts. Ship with correct localization from the start.

+## String Catalogs (.xcstrings)
+
+String Catalogs replaced `.strings` and `.stringsdict` files starting in Xcode 15 / iOS 17. They unify all localizable strings, pluralization rules, and device variations into a single JSON-based file with a visual editor.
+
+**Why String Catalogs exist:**
+- `.strings` files required manual key management and fell out of sync
+- `.stringsdict` required complex XML for plurals
+- String Catalogs auto-extract strings from code, track translation state, and support plurals natively
+
+**How automatic extraction works:**
+
+Xcode scans for these patterns on each build:
+
+```swift
+// SwiftUI -- automatically extracted (LocalizedStringKey)
+Text("Welcome back")              // key: "Welcome back"
+Label("Settings", systemImage: "gear")
+Button("Save") { }
+Toggle("Dark Mode", isOn: $dark)
+
+// Programmatic -- automatically extracted
+String(localized: "No items found")
+LocalizedStringResource("Order placed")
+
+// NOT extracted -- plain String, not localized
+let msg = "Hello"                 // just a String, invisible to Xcode
+```
+
+Xcode adds discovered keys to the String Catalog automatically. Mark translations as Needs Review, Translated, or Stale in the editor.
+
+For detailed String Catalog workflows, migration, and testing strategies, see `references/string-catalogs.md`.
+
+## String Types -- Decision Guide
+
+### LocalizedStringKey (SwiftUI default)
+
+SwiftUI views accept `LocalizedStringKey` for their text parameters. String literals are implicitly converted -- no extra work needed.
+
+```swift
+// These all create a LocalizedStringKey lookup automatically:
+Text("Welcome back")
+Label("Profile", systemImage: "person")
+Button("Delete") { deleteItem() }
+NavigationTitle("Home")
+```
+
+Use `LocalizedStringKey` when passing strings directly to SwiftUI view initializers. Do not construct `LocalizedStringKey` manually in most cases.
+
+### String(localized:) -- Modern NSLocalizedString replacement
+
+Use for any localized string outside a SwiftUI view initializer. Returns a plain `String`. Available iOS 16+.
+
+```swift
+// Basic
+let title = String(localized: "Welcome back")
+
+// With default value (key differs from English text)
+let msg = String(localized: "error.network",
+                 defaultValue: "Check your internet connection")
+
+// With table and bundle
+let label = String(localized: "onboarding.title",
+                   table: "Onboarding",
+                   bundle: .module)
+
+// With comment for translators
+let btn = String(localized: "Save",
+                 comment: "Button title to save the current document")
+```
+
+### LocalizedStringResource -- Pass localization info without resolving
+
+Use when you need to pass a localized string to an API that resolves it later (App Intents, widgets, notifications, system frameworks). Available iOS 16+.
+
+```swift
+// App Intents require LocalizedStringResource
+struct OrderCoffeeIntent: AppIntent {
+    static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Order Coffee"
+}
+
+// Widgets
+struct MyWidget: Widget {
+    var body: some WidgetConfiguration {
+        StaticConfiguration(kind: "timer",
+                            provider: Provider()) { entry in
+            TimerView(entry: entry)
+        }
+        .configurationDisplayName(LocalizedStringResource("Timer"))
+    }
+}
+
+// Pass around without resolving yet
+func showAlert(title: LocalizedStringResource, message: LocalizedStringResource) {
+    // Resolved at display time with the user's current locale
+    let resolved = String(localized: title)
+}
+```
+
+### When to use each type
+
+| Context | Type | Why |
+|---------|------|-----|
+| SwiftUI view text parameters | `LocalizedStringKey` (implicit) | SwiftUI handles lookup automatically |
+| Computed strings in view models / services | `String(localized:)` | Returns resolved `String` for logic |
+| App Intents, widgets, system APIs | `LocalizedStringResource` | Framework resolves at display time |
+| Error messages shown to users | `String(localized:)` | Resolved in catch blocks |
+| Logging / analytics (not user-facing) | Plain `String` | No localization needed |
+
+## String Interpolation in Localized Strings
+
+Interpolated values in localized strings become positional arguments that translators can reorder.
+
+```swift
+// English: "Welcome, Alice! You have 3 new messages."
+// German:  "Willkommen, Alice! Sie haben 3 neue Nachrichten."
+// Japanese: "Alice さん、新しいメッセージが 3 件あります。"
+let text = String(localized: "Welcome, \(name)! You have \(count) new messages.")
+```
+
+In the String Catalog, this appears with `%@` and `%lld` placeholders that translators can reorder:
+- English: `"Welcome, %@! You have %lld new messages."`
+- Japanese: `"%@さん、新しいメッセージが%lld件あります。"`
+
+**Type-safe interpolation** (preferred over format specifiers):
+```swift
+// Interpolation provides type safety
+String(localized: "Score: \(score, format: .number)")
+String(localized: "Due: \(date, format: .dateTime.month().day())")
+```
+
+## Pluralization
+
+String Catalogs handle pluralization natively -- no `.stringsdict` XML required.
+
+### Setup in String Catalog
+
+When a localized string contains an integer interpolation, Xcode detects it and offers plural variants in the String Catalog editor. Supply translations for each CLDR plural category:
+
+| Category | English example | Arabic example |
+|----------|----------------|----------------|
+| zero | (not used) | 0 items |
+| one | 1 item | 1 item |
+| two | (not used) | 2 items (dual) |
+| few | (not used) | 3-10 items |
+| many | (not used) | 11-99 items |
+| other | 2+ items | 100+ items |
+
+English uses only `one` and `other`. Arabic uses all six. Always supply `other` as the fallback.
+
+```swift
+// Code -- single interpolation triggers plural support
+Text("\(unreadCount) unread messages")
+
+// String Catalog entries (English):
+//   one:   "%lld unread message"
+//   other: "%lld unread messages"
+```
+
+### Device Variations
+
+String Catalogs support device-specific text (iPhone vs iPad vs Mac):
+
+```swift
+// In String Catalog editor, enable "Vary by Device" for a key
+// iPhone: "Tap to continue"
+// iPad:   "Tap or click to continue"
+// Mac:    "Click to continue"
+```
+
+### Grammar Agreement (iOS 17+)
+
+Use `^[...]` inflection syntax for automatic grammatical agreement:
+
+```swift
+// Automatically adjusts for gender/number in supported languages
+Text("^[\(count) \("photo")](inflect: true) added")
+// English: "1 photo added" / "3 photos added"
+// Spanish: "1 foto agregada" / "3 fotos agregadas"
+```
+
+## FormatStyle -- Locale-Aware Formatting
+
+Never hard-code date, number, or measurement formats. Use `FormatStyle` (iOS 15+) so formatting adapts to the user's locale automatically.
+
+### Dates
+
+```swift
+let now = Date.now
+
+// Preset styles
+now.formatted(date: .long, time: .shortened)
+// US: "January 15, 2026 at 3:30 PM"
+// DE: "15. Januar 2026 um 15:30"
+// JP: "2026年1月15日 15:30"
+
+// Component-based
+now.formatted(.dateTime.month(.wide).day().year())
+// US: "January 15, 2026"
+
+// In SwiftUI
+Text(now, format: .dateTime.month().day().year())
+```
+
+### Numbers
+
+```swift
+let count = 1234567
+count.formatted()                     // "1,234,567" (US) / "1.234.567" (DE)
+count.formatted(.number.precision(.fractionLength(2)))
+count.formatted(.percent)             // For 0.85 -> "85%" (US) / "85 %" (FR)
+
+// Currency
+let price = Decimal(29.99)
+price.formatted(.currency(code: "USD"))  // "$29.99" (US) / "29,99 $US" (FR)
+price.formatted(.currency(code: "EUR"))  // "29,99 EUR" (DE)
+```
+
+### Measurements
+
+```swift
+let distance = Measurement(value: 5, unit: UnitLength.kilometers)
+distance.formatted(.measurement(width: .wide))
+// US: "3.1 miles" (auto-converts!) / DE: "5 Kilometer"
+
+let temp = Measurement(value: 22, unit: UnitTemperature.celsius)
+temp.formatted(.measurement(width: .abbreviated))
+// US: "72 F" (auto-converts!) / FR: "22 C"
+```
+
+### Duration, PersonName, Lists
+
+```swift
+// Duration
+let dur = Duration.seconds(3661)
+dur.formatted(.time(pattern: .hourMinuteSecond))  // "1:01:01"
+
+// Person names
+let name = PersonNameComponents(givenName: "John", familyName: "Doe")
+name.formatted(.name(style: .long))   // "John Doe" (US) / "Doe John" (JP)
+
+// Lists
+let items = ["Apples", "Oranges", "Bananas"]
+items.formatted(.list(type: .and))    // "Apples, Oranges, and Bananas" (EN)
+                                      // "Apples, Oranges et Bananas" (FR)
+```
+
+For the complete FormatStyle reference, custom styles, and RTL layout, see `references/formatstyle-locale.md`.
+
+## Right-to-Left (RTL) Layout
+
+SwiftUI automatically mirrors layouts for RTL languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu, Persian). Most views require zero changes.
+
+### What SwiftUI auto-mirrors
+
+- `HStack` children reverse order
+- `.leading` / `.trailing` alignment and padding swap sides
+- `NavigationStack` back button moves to trailing edge
+- `List` disclosure indicators flip
+- Text alignment follows reading direction
+
+### What needs manual attention
+
+```swift
+// Testing RTL in previews
+MyView()
+    .environment(\.layoutDirection, .rightToLeft)
+    .environment(\.locale, Locale(identifier: "ar"))
+
+// Images that should mirror (directional arrows, progress indicators)
+Image(systemName: "chevron.right")
+    .flipsForRightToLeftLayoutDirection(true)
+
+// Images that should NOT mirror: logos, photos, clocks, music notes
+
+// Forced LTR for specific content (phone numbers, code)
+Text("+1 (555) 123-4567")
+    .environment(\.layoutDirection, .leftToRight)
+```
+
+### Layout rules
+
+- **DO** use `.leading` / `.trailing` -- they auto-flip for RTL
+- **DON'T** use `.left` / `.right` -- they are fixed and break RTL
+- **DO** use `HStack` / `VStack` -- they respect layout direction
+- **DON'T** use absolute `offset(x:)` for directional positioning
+
+## Common Mistakes
+
+### DON'T: Use NSLocalizedString in new code
+```swift
+// WRONG -- legacy API, verbose, no compiler integration with String Catalogs
+let title = NSLocalizedString("welcome_title", comment: "Welcome screen title")
+```
+
+### DO: Use String(localized:) or let SwiftUI handle it
+```swift
+// CORRECT
+let title = String(localized: "welcome_title",
+                   defaultValue: "Welcome!",
+                   comment: "Welcome screen title")
+// Or in SwiftUI, just:
+Text("Welcome!")
+```
+
+### DON'T: Concatenate localized strings
+```swift
+// WRONG -- word order varies by language
+let greeting = String(localized: "Hello") + ", " + name + "!"
+```
+
+### DO: Use string interpolation
+```swift
+// CORRECT -- translators can reorder placeholders
+let greeting = String(localized: "Hello, \(name)!")
+```
+
+### DON'T: Hard-code date/number formats
+```swift
+// WRONG -- US-only format
+let formatter = DateFormatter()
+formatter.dateFormat = "MM/dd/yyyy"  // Meaningless in most countries
+```
+
+### DO: Use FormatStyle
+```swift
+// CORRECT -- adapts to user locale
+Text(date, format: .dateTime.month().day().year())
+```
+
+### DON'T: Use fixed-width layouts
+```swift
+// WRONG -- German text is ~30% longer than English
+Text(title).frame(width: 120)
+```
+
+### DO: Use flexible layouts
+```swift
+// CORRECT
+Text(title).fixedSize(horizontal: false, vertical: true)
+// Or use VStack/wrapping that accommodates expansion
+```
+
+### DON'T: Use .left / .right for alignment
+```swift
+// WRONG -- does not flip for RTL
+HStack { Spacer(); text }.padding(.left, 16)
+```
+
+### DO: Use .leading / .trailing
+```swift
+// CORRECT
+HStack { Spacer(); text }.padding(.leading, 16)
+```
+
+### DON'T: Put user-facing strings as plain String outside SwiftUI
+```swift
+// WRONG -- not localized
+let errorMessage = "Something went wrong"
+showAlert(message: errorMessage)
+```
+
+### DO: Use LocalizedStringResource for deferred resolution
+```swift
+// CORRECT
+let errorMessage = LocalizedStringResource("Something went wrong")
+showAlert(message: String(localized: errorMessage))
+```
+
+### DON'T: Skip pseudolocalization testing
+Testing only in English hides truncation, layout, and RTL bugs.
+
+### DO: Test with German (long) and Arabic (RTL) at minimum
+Use Xcode scheme settings to override the app language without changing device locale.
+
+## Review Checklist
+
+- [ ] All user-facing strings use localization (`LocalizedStringKey` in SwiftUI or `String(localized:)`)
+- [ ] No string concatenation for user-visible text
+- [ ] Dates and numbers use `FormatStyle`, not hardcoded formats
+- [ ] Pluralization handled via String Catalog plural variants (not manual if/else)
+- [ ] Layout uses `.leading` / `.trailing`, not `.left` / `.right`
+- [ ] UI tested with long text (German) and RTL (Arabic)
+- [ ] String Catalog includes all target languages
+- [ ] Images needing RTL mirroring use `.flipsForRightToLeftLayoutDirection(true)`
+- [ ] App Intents and widgets use `LocalizedStringResource`
+- [ ] No `NSLocalizedString` usage in new code
+- [ ] Comments provided for ambiguous keys (context for translators)
+- [ ] `@ScaledMetric` used for spacing that must scale with Dynamic Type
+- [ ] Currency formatting uses explicit currency code, not locale default
+- [ ] Pseudolocalization tested (accented, right-to-left, double-length)
+- [ ] Ensure localized string types are Sendable; use @MainActor for locale-change UI updates
