I am struggling with the locilization of some of my TextFields. Usually a "normal" localization of a Text() or TextField() works without any problem in my App if the text I want to translate is hardcoded like this:
Text("English Text")
I translate it in my Localizable.strings like this:
"English Text" = "German Text";
Now I want to translate TextFields which are more dynamic, but where I know each possible entry:
TextField("New note" + (refresh ? "" : " "),text: $newToDo, onCommit: {
self.addToDo()
self.refresh.toggle()
})
(The refresh is necessary because of a SwiftUI bug sometimes not showing the placeholder-text again.)
Another example would be:
func dayWord() -> String {
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone.current
dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "de_DE")
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "EEEE"
return dateFormatter.string(from: self)
}
var day: String {
return data.date.dateFromMilliseconds().dayWord()
}
Text(day.prefix(2))
The Text(day.prefix(2)) has only seven possible states, but I don't know what to write as a key in my Localizable.strings.
Use NSLocalizedString, like
TextField(NSLocalizedString("New note", comment: "") + (refresh ? "" : " "), ...
