In the session titled "Build multilingual-ready apps" at WWDC 2024, there is a discussion about handling numbers in multilingual applications. The session explains that while English and many other languages use Arabic numerals, there are various numbering systems worldwide. The session highlights the importance of using formatters to ensure numbers automatically follow locale-specific rules. It introduces two methods for localizing numbers:
- Formatting numbers in code using interpolation, which automatically formats numbers for the current locale.
- Formatting numbers directly in strings, allowing for easy localization without additional code.
This approach respects the user's number settings in language and region preferences and can handle aspects like decimal separators, making it suitable for apps supporting multiple localizations.
For more details, you can refer to the session Build multilingual-ready apps (12:58).
