To enable string catalogs in a package, you can follow the steps outlined in the "Build multilingual-ready apps" session from WWDC 2024. String catalogs are a powerful tool in Xcode for managing translations and keeping strings in sync with your code. Here are some key points:

  1. String Catalogs Overview:

    • String catalogs simplify the process of managing translations in your project.
    • They help keep strings in sync with your code and offer powerful editing tools.
  2. New Features in String Catalogs:

    • Validation Issues Detection: String catalogs now detect common validation issues, such as mismatched format specifiers, and allow you to fix them with a single click.
    • Mark Strings as "Don't Translate": You can mark specific strings as "don't translate" to inform translators that the content is still being finalized.
    • Code and Catalog Navigation: Easily jump back and forth between the code and the catalog for a particular string.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the Build multilingual-ready apps session at the timestamp 11:24.
