Adding Quotes in Swift

Question

Is there a straightforward way in Swift for adding quotation marks to a String? The quotation marks should localize properly (see https://en.wikipedia.org/w

Answer 1

Using the information from http://nshipster.com/nslocale/:

let locale = NSLocale.currentLocale()
let qBegin = locale.objectForKey(NSLocaleQuotationBeginDelimiterKey) as? String ?? "\""
let qEnd = locale.objectForKey(NSLocaleQuotationEndDelimiterKey) as? String ?? "\""

let quote = qBegin + "To be or not to be..." + qEnd
print(quote)

Sample results:

Locale   Output

 de      „To be or not to be...“
 en      “To be or not to be...”
 fr      «To be or not to be...»
 ja      「To be or not to be...」

I don't know if the begin/end delimiter key can be undefined for a locale. In that case the above code would fall back to the normal double-quote ".
