About
chadpod-xcstrings-localizer-claude-code-plugin is a Claude Code plugin that localizes Apple String Catalog files (.xcstrings) using Claude instead of manual export-import cycles or disconnected translation SaaS. iOS and macOS developers install it when they already use Xcode 15+ catalogs and need consistent target-language strings without breaking placeholders, plural rules, or non-translatable keys. The plugin keywords emphasize preserves, respects shouldTranslate, scoped folders, and specifier-aware translation—signals that it is built for real catalog semantics, not bulk plain-text dump. Use it while expanding locales before App Store submission or when refreshing copy across modules. It does not replace professional LQA for regulated industries, but it compresses iteration time for small teams updating many keys in-repo.
- Translates Xcode .xcstrings String Catalog format via Claude
- Preserves metadata and respects shouldTranslate flags on entries
- Folder-scoped and pattern-based targeting for large catalogs
- Supports specifiers and structured localization fields per Apple format
