LocalizationScanner - Localization issue scanner for Apple platform projects

👨‍💻 Running the script

swift run LocalizationScanner [--file-extensions <file-extensions> ...] [--excluded-directories <excluded-directories> ...] [--output-file-name <output-file-name>] [<scan-path>]

🐊 Arguments

• <scan-path>: path to the directory to scan. (default: current directory)
• -f, --file-extensions <file-extensions>: The file extensions to search for. (default: swift, xib, m, storyboard)
• -e, --excluded-directories <excluded-directories>: The directories to exclude from the search. (default: Pods, Tests, UITests, UnitTests)
• -o, --output-file-name <output-file-name>: The name of the output file. (default: output.txt)
• -h, --help: Show help information.

😱 Non-localised strings

If you come across a file that uses non-localised strings but their use is necessary, there are commands to skip them when scanning:

• locscanner:disable and locscanner:enable - disables scanning in a given range
• locscanner:ignore - disables scanning for the whole file

🔭 Example:

final class ExampleImpl: Example {
    ...
    // locscanner:disable
    static let veryImportantName: String = "iPhone Kirchberg"
    // locscanner:enable
    ...
}

📝 Editing

When modifying the source code, you must invoke the following command:

swift build && swift run LocalizationScanner [--file-extensions <file-extensions> ...] [--excluded-directories <excluded-directories> ...] [--output-file-name <output-file-name>] [<scan-path>]

File output is in the output.txt file unless you specify otherwise.

🤯 Troubleshooting

If you don't build the utility with swift build or swift run commands, you need to delete the hidden folder ./build and rebuild again. You can see the hidden folders by using the key combination: Shift+⌘+..
