I need to localize a string which has some variable and the localized string must be defined with key: value: comment format. Guys I tried many ways but don't get the right way yet. See here...
let timeValue = 5
let timeString = "hours"
//Bellows are working fine
dateLabelString = String(format: "Overdue by %d %@", timeValue,timeString) //Working //Normal flat string
dateLabelString = String(format: NSLocalizedString("Overdue by %d %@", comment: "Overdue by 5 days/hours/minutes/seconds"), timeValue,timeString) //Working
dateLabelString = String.localizedStringWithFormat(NSLocalizedString("Overdue by %d %@", comment: "Overdue by 5 days/hours/minutes/seconds"), timeValue,timeString) //Working
dateLabelString = NSString.init(format: "Overdue by %d %@", timeValue,timeString) as String //Working
dateLabelString = NSString.init(format: NSLocalizedString("Overdue by %d %@", comment: "Overdue by 5 days/hours/minutes/seconds"), timeValue,timeString) as String //Working
//Bellows are not working
dateLabelString = String(format: NSLocalizedString("OVERDUE_BY", value: "Overdue by %d %@", comment: "Overdue by 5 days/hours/minutes/seconds"), timeValue,timeString) //Not Working
dateLabelString = String.localizedStringWithFormat(NSLocalizedString("OVERDUE_BY", value: "Overdue by %d %@", comment: "Overdue by 5 days/hours/minutes/seconds"), timeValue,timeString) //Not Working
dateLabelString = NSString.init(format: NSLocalizedString("OVERDUE_BY", value: "Overdue by %d %@", comment: "Overdue by 5 days/hours/minutes/seconds"), timeValue,timeString) as String //Not Working
Xcode: 8.2.1 Swift: 2.3
Notice the problem is for including the key on NSLocalizedString, otherwise its working perfectly. I need the key must.
For localized strings with variables this is working for me:
String.localizedStringWithFormat(NSLocalizedString("MyCustomKey", comment: "Hello %d World"), myValue)
And in the Localizable.strings this line:
MyCustomKey = "Hello %d World";
