Best Practice to Localizable.strings in Swift

I have one question about the best way to resolve a problem.

My project contains many ViewControllers, and this views contain any buttons or labels, right? I need localize all labels, but I think if I need write all texts in respective labels all language, it is a tedious work.

Well, because this scenario I do one Extension to UIViewController, this read all labels or buttons and use the current text like key. E.g.

let myViewController = UIViewController();
let myLabelTitle = UILabel();
let myLabelContent = UILabel();

myLabelTitle.text = "What do you do?";
myLabelContent.text = "Tell me more about you.";

myViewController.view.addSubView(myLabelTitle);
myViewController.view.addSubView(myLabelContent);

myViewController.localizeLabels() // <- This is my Extension, work fine.

The question is about, my Localizable.string will be construct like this

In English

"What do you do?" = "What do you do?"
"Tell me more about you." = "Tell me more about you."

In Portuguese

"What do you do?" = "O que você faz?"
"Tell me more about you." = "Me conte sobre você."

This is my question, Can I use Localizable.string like this?
