To localize a text that contains numbers, such as "Show x products," you can use the techniques discussed in the session "Build multilingual-ready apps" at WWDC 2024. Here are the key points:
-
Number Interpolation in Code: You can format the number in code using interpolation. This method ensures that the number will be formatted according to the current locale. For example, if the number of products is determined at runtime, this approach will automatically format the number correctly for the user's locale.
-
Formatting Numbers Directly in Strings: Apple introduced a new way to format numbers directly within localized strings. This method allows you to format numbers without writing any code. It ensures that the correct numbering system and other aspects of number formatting, such as decimal separators, are used at runtime, respecting the user's language and region settings.
For more details, you can refer to the session Build multilingual-ready apps (13:46).
