# iOS Localization & Assets

## **Priority: P1 (HIGH)**

## Implementation Workflow

1. **Use String Catalogs** — Adopt `.stringcatalog` files in Xcode 15+ for visual editing and compile-time missing translation checks.
2. **Prefer modern APIs** — Use `String(localized: "key")` or `LocalizedStringResource` instead of `NSLocalizedString`.
3. **Handle pluralization** — Use String Catalogs' built-in pluralization instead of custom code logic.
4. **Format with locale** — Use `Formatted` API for dates, numbers, and currencies to respect user locale.
5. **Organize assets** — Use `.xcassets` with "Provides Namespace" enabled. Prefer SF Symbols for standard icons.
6. **Complete Base localization** — Ensure `Base` complete before adding other languages.

See [localization and asset catalog examples](references/implementation.md)

## Anti-Patterns

- **No Manual Currency Formatting**: Use `NumberFormatter` or `.formatted(.currency)`
- **No Loose Asset Files**: Always use Asset Catalogs (`.xcassets`)
- **No Placeholder Strings**: Ensure 100% translation coverage before commit
