Question

hi StringDesc locale change language only for StringDesc localize results if you read string not by `StringDesc localize` you will read system language

Also what is the exact `locale` you are passing and do you have this exact resource directory You have to pass the exact locale as the resource directory is named under `resources MR ` So if you have a directory called `fr` you cannot pass `fr FR` as a `locale` You must pass `fr` or add some additional logic to resolve this

for apple we search dir with name ` lt locale gt jproj` for android we use system logic with Context locale change for jvm we pass locale to class loader api for js we search localization file with lt locale gt name

Hi there I have fresh news 1 I wanted to have greek language as my base so in the base folder strings xml file I had greek strings 2 I have also created a second folder named en for the english strings 3 Finally I tried setting `iosBaseLocalizationRegion = el ` not worked and leave it blank also not worked The setup that seems to work I must confirm it 100 is this 1 The base folder contains the english strings 2 I have also created a second folder named el for the greek strings 3 `iosBaseLocalizationRegion = en ` 4 In order to change locale I call the function ```fun setLocale locale String StringDesc localeType = StringDesc LocaleType Custom locale ``` with the appropriate locale en or el

The locale change seems to work fine The final issue that I have to figure out is that the english strings appear with their keys e g home screen title and not with their values The produced `Localizable strings` file seems fine but I suspect that there is a typo somewhere in the strings xml file

correct is use base for greek and setup valid base localization maybe you not setup xcode project <https github com icerockdev moko resources installation> check `ios app Info plist` block

if you see keys on ios instead of locales maybe you have static framework and need to setup additional build phase <https github com icerockdev moko resources static kotlin frameworks support>

The setup seems ok I see keys because the exported `Localizable strings` file for english was invalid and the iOS did a fallback and returned the key In order to confirm that the content of the `Localizable strings` was invalid I took it s strings and placed them into xcode s Localizable strings Then I took a compile error This time the issue was the text above ``` my key = Click Continue to choose how you want to receive the new equipment ``` and the KMM string was this ``` lt string name= my key gt Click amp quot Continue amp quot to choose how you want to receive the new equipment amp quot lt string gt ``` Apparently there was no compile issue and the android code worked fine If I may suggest there should be an extra check in order to determine that the produced `Localizable strings` file inside any lproj folder is valid

alex009 · Answer

maybe you know some cli cmd for check correctness of this file

< alex009> about the base folder you are right there was no need to change it

ptsiogas · Answer

I have tried the command tool below but I have not seen it in depth ```plutil lint Localizable strings```

In the example that I described above it worked fine
