To create a string in the context of building multilingual-ready apps, you can use string catalogs in Xcode. String catalogs simplify the process of managing translations by keeping strings in sync with code and offering powerful editing tools. They can detect common validation issues and allow you to fix them with a single click. Additionally, you can mark specific strings as "don't translate" to inform translators that the content is still being finalized. This approach helps accelerate development and localization workflows.

For more advanced string handling, such as formatting numbers within localized strings, you can use interpolation in code or format numbers directly in strings. This ensures that the correct numbering system is used at runtime, respecting language and region settings.

If you are interested in creating attributed strings, you can use them to add additional lines of text with different properties, such as different fonts or font sizes. This is particularly useful in applications like a spatial drawing app with RealityKit, where you can create 3D text using attributed strings.

For more details, you can refer to the session "Build multilingual-ready apps" and "Build a spatial drawing app with RealityKit" from WWDC 2024.
