More Detail

Additional details

  • Xcode 27 agents translate String Catalogs with app context, including code usage, generated comments, similar terminology, and existing translations in other languages.
  • The setup flow adds the target language, builds supported targets to discover localizable strings, and creates String Catalogs when a project does not already have them.
  • Translation work can be split into batches handled by subagents, which matters for larger apps with multiple catalogs and many strings.
  • Review is still required: placeholders, plurals, product terms, and context-sensitive words need human validation before release.
  • TestFlight is part of the practical rollout path because localized builds need real-device review from people who know the target language and market.
