Export multiple lines for localization
I defined multiple lines using the format . stringsdict as indicated here .
I use Xcode's "Editor> Export for Localization .." to create XLIFF files suitable for translators and translation software, but the lines defined in Localizable.stringsdict are not exported to the XLIFF file.
How can I export these multiple forms to XLIFF format - translate them and import them back into the project?
I know that XLIFF does not have its own multiple markup, but the format is extensible , so I do not understand why this will not be possible.
Xcode automatically exports stringsdict (plural) strings only starting with Xcode 9. I know, I know. Although stringsdict has been a way to make plurals on iOS and Mac for several years, Apple only half-supported it before Xcode 9. Now you can also view stringsdict files in a format that makes them easier to read, including patterns, you can add plurals with a few clicks . Xcode 9 and above can also view XLIFF files in table format. Double-click on XLIFF in Xcode to see. Before you just get the source XML.
