NSLocalizedString with variables Swift

Question

I\'m trying to figure out how to use NSLocalizedString with variables.

For example, if I want to output \"by Peter and Larry\", in my Localizable.strings

Answer 1

An example with the Localizable.strings file:

In Localizable.strings file:

localizable_text = "Title %@ (Code: %@)";

In Swift class:

let title = "Error"
let code = "123456"
let alertMessage = String(format: NSLocalizedString("localizable_text", comment: ""), title, code)

Answer 2

yes, you should have "account.by_user" = "by %@ and %@"; and take this:

let localizedString = NSLocalizedString("account.by_user", comment: "any comment")
let wantedString = String(format: localizedString, "Peter","Larry")

Answer 3

String(format: NSLocalizedString("Pick_Only", comment: ""), sectionData.max)

In Localizable.strings: "Pick_Only" = "Pick only %d";

Answer 4

This is another way and how I do it.

let myString = String.localizedStringWithFormat(NSLocalizedString("by %@ and %@", comment: "yourComment"), name1, name2)

basically, the main idea of Localized String with format is like this:

let math = "Math"
let science = "Science"
String.localizedStringWithFormat(NSLocalizedString("I love %@ and %@", comment: "loved Subjects"), math, science)

Answer 5

Adding a small sample below as it took me some time to figure the Localizable.strings file formatting.

Example of adding variables to localized string:

In code:

let myVar: String = "My Var"

String(format: NSLocalizedString("translated_key %@",
      comment: "Comment"), myVar)

In Localizable.strings file:

"translated_key %@" = "My var is: %@";

Of course, the %@ on the right side can be replaced:

"translated_key %@" = "My var is: %@";
"translated_key %@" = "%@ is my var";
"translated_key %@" = "I use %@ as my var";

Also, %@ can be replaced by %d for int or %f for a float.
