how to localize app intents

To localize app intents, you need to ensure that the titles and summaries of your intents are localizable. This involves defining a localizable title for each intent, which will appear as the name of the action in the Shortcuts app. Additionally, you should ensure that the parameter summaries are readable and understandable in all supported languages.

Here are the steps to localize app intents:

1. Define Localizable Titles: Each intent should have a localizable title. This title will be displayed as the name of the action in the Shortcuts app.
2. Parameter Summaries: Make sure the parameter summaries are always readable as a sentence, regardless of the selected parameters. This helps users understand what the app intent does when exploring in the Shortcuts drawer.
3. Use the App Intents Framework: The framework allows you to define what your core actions and content are, so system features like Siri and Shortcuts can present them outside your app in a localized manner.
