Stringz is a lightweight yet powerful editor that makes translating your iOS app easy and fast.
Stringz greatly simplifies localizing your Xcode apps (iOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS) by introducing a powerful editor for all localizable files in your project. It will even import strings from storyboard and xib files saving you a lot of time and effort finding elementIds in the storyboard. Stringz also supports localizing your Info.plist file so you can easily translate your app name and permission descriptions.
Stringz will also highlight missing translations and warn you about duplicate values and has many more useful features that takes a painful and tedious task like localizing your app and converts it to an easy and simple task.
- ✅ Automatically finds localizable files in an Xcode project.
- ✅ Displays translations in a table side by side and highlights missing values.
- ✅ Supports all kinds of localizable files like .strings, .storyboard, .xib and .plist.
- ✅ Supports adding new languages and localizing unlocalized files.
- ✅ Easy to use and mac in it's core.
- ✅ Continuously being improved and updated.
- Go to releases page for this repository.
- Download the latest version of the app from the assets section. (It should be named something like Stringz-x.x.x.dmg).
- Open the downloaded file and drag the app to your Applications folder.
- The application doesn't have auto update feature (yet), so make sure to occasionally check this github repository for new releases.
Open the application and select your Xcode project (.xcodeproj) in the open dialog, Stringz will then automatically crawl your project, find localizable files, and diplay them in the sidebar. Select a localizable file from the sidebar to view its contents. From there you can add/delete/update strings and add new languages.
The application has autosave feature so it should automatically save your changes as you make them (You can also disable this feature from preferences if you don't want Xcode to reload every time you update a string).
Preferences also contains some useful options regarding loading localizable files and exporting .strings files to your project. So I would storngly advice to to check preferences out.
There is a sample app included in this repository, The application was tested havily with this sample app, So I strongly encorage you to download the sample app and run Stringz on it to examin how Stringz should correctly work, If you encounter an unexpected behaviors with your own app please consider submitting an issue and I'l make sure to fix it as quickly as possible.
This project is not open soruce, but that doesn't mean you can't contribute to the development of the project. A great way to help pushing this project forward is to download it and test it on your applications then submit an issue about any bugs, crashes or any unexpected behaviors you might encounter, Also suggestions and feature requests are super welcomed. So if you encounter some kind of inconvenience please don't give up on the application, submit an issue and help make this project better.
