Objective-C internationalization and localization

Objective-C apps localization and internationalization. See how to translate Objective-C apps and which language file formats are supported. 2 min read

Objective-C builds on the foundations of ANSI C. Compared to other object-oriented languages based on C, Objective-C is very dynamic. Dynamism enables the construction of sophisticated development tools. Since Objective-C incorporates C, one gets all the benefits of C when working within Objective-C.

Objective-C applications can be translated using

Apple .strings
Apple Swift

Best way to localize Objective-C apps

The first step is to extract the text to translate into language files. This process is called internationalization. The built-in libraries can be used to extract the text to translate into Apple .strings files.

Once you have internationalized your Objective-C app, use a translation software localization tool such as WebTranslateIt to manage your localization workflow.

It is easy to translate a Objective-C app with WebTranslateIt. Create a project, upload your source language file in the File Manager and translate it on the Translation Interface.

The tools included in WebTranslateIt, such as Batch Operations, the Translation Memory or Machine Translation can help you translate that file automatically, faster and cost effectively.
