Hey Catie, I have tried this process myself, everything works fine but only this one problem: how to deal with multi line strings in localizable.strings file? Simply treat it as single line string won’t work.

@catie Can you please help with this when you get a chance? Thank you - much appreciated! :]

Any chance to localize the Assets.xcassets file?
Thank you

@catie Can you please help with this when you get a chance? Thank you - much appreciated! :]

Thanks for these excellent videos. Any suggestions for handling dates and number formatting?

Example:
01/11/2019 or 11/01/2019
1,000.00 or 1.000,00
etc

Have you looked into DateFormatter and NumberFormatter? They’re very powerful, partially due to their use of Locale, following with the topic of this screencast.

This one, I’ve found to be especially helpful. It was new in iOS 10: Apple Developer Documentation

In this screencast, reference is made to another screencast which shows how to set up strings for localization. Could you provide a link to this screencast - would suggest putting it in the notes on the screencast page. A search of RayWenderlich.com is not bringing up anything.

Sure. Here you go! https://www.raywenderlich.com/5040-internationalization
