TextKit 2 is a powerful framework used in Apple's development environments like SwiftUI, AppKit, and UIKit to handle text rendering and layout. It is designed to provide a seamless experience for multilingual text rendering, ensuring that text in any of a user's preferred languages is displayed correctly without requiring language-specific code. This is particularly useful for apps that need to support multiple languages, as it automatically adjusts text rendering based on the user's language preferences.
For example, in the session "Build multilingual-ready apps," it was demonstrated how TextKit 2 can beautifully render Urdu text in an app running in English, without any specific code for Urdu. This is achieved through the use of textiles, which consider all the user's languages to ensure proper text rendering.
TextKit 2 also integrates with various text views, such as UITextView in UIKit, to provide advanced text handling capabilities. It supports rich text through attributed strings, preserving styles, links, and attachments during text processing. Additionally, it offers features like writing tools, which can automatically suggest text improvements and handle text interactions seamlessly.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the session "Build multilingual-ready apps" and "Get started with Writing Tools" from WWDC 2024.
