I have the following code in SwiftUI and I want to translate accessibility label from English to Polish:
Text("Example")
.accessibilityLabel("Color: \(color.description)")
And I have such translations in Localizable.strings file:
/* Color: color.description */
"Color: %@" = "Kolor: %@";
/* Color */
"blue" = "niebieski";
I've tested this with VoiceOver and it reads: "Kolor: blue" But should read: "Kolor: niebieski"
Which means that color.description ("blue" in my case) wasn't translated to "niebieski". Why is that? What am I doing wrong?
I fixed it :) It's quite simple.
Here is a working code:
Text("Example")
.accessibilityLabel("Color")
.accessibilityValue(LocalizedStringKey(Color.blue.description))
And if color value is from a variable (like in the original question), it will be:
Text("Example")
.accessibilityLabel("Color")
.accessibilityValue(LocalizedStringKey(color.description))
What is important is to use localizedString(value:). And I've separated accessibilityLabel to separate accessibilityLabel and accessibilityValue.
