Localization not working - Swift

I have a problem with the localization of my app. I want to have french and english (default).

The localization seems to work with the Storyboard as text from there is translated to french (on simulator & iPhone in french). But the strings from Localizable.strings are not translated.

I checked the name of the file and it is correct "Localizable.strings". I validated the content of the files with "plutil -lint " and it was OK. Checking the target->build phases->copy bundle resources: the Localizable.strings is there.

In the code I am using:

NSLocalizedString("KEY", comment: "")

Checking the NSLocale of the simulator, it seems as the preferred language is french, so I do not understand why it is not working.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Henry

I have got same issue in Xcode 12.5

My Issues: I worked with English and Arabic text. English text was working fine but not able to extract Arabic Text. Have tried all solutions.

My Solution 1: Actually I had copied and pasted Arabic text from Google which caused issue in Xcode(Xcode was not able to read those texts.) So I copied Arabic texts first in Notes App and then copied to Xcode.

My Solution 2: I have tracked this issue after 4-5 afters. I checked the texts which are working fine in Arabic and checked the last line from where texts are not working. So i found that Arabic text was pasted improperly. So I cut that text and copied to Notes App and copied from Notes App and pasted back to code.

And Boom It worked.

I faced same issue, but I found a mistake in Localizable.strings as user3900157. I missed semicolon at the end. After added semicolon to all sentences, it worked. Hope to help you.

I fixed my issue. There was a mistake in my Localizable.strings. I had the following for one line: 

"..."; = "...";

It would be good if there was a tool to validate this.

Thanks for the effort,

Bye

You might be missing some settings in your scheme.

This tutorial on YouTube really helped me localize my last app. It's under 8 minutes. Hope it helps.
