Swift How to localize an Array for different languages

Question

I'm trying to localize an array for different languages.

The array that I want localize looks like:

var watch = ["This watch is blue", "this watch is red", "this watch is white "]

I have already the string localizable and I'm using the method NSLocalizedString but I don't know how I can localize the array with all different description.

Thank you for the help

You could use NSLocalizedString for your array instead of an array of vanilla strings. — Adrian

If you are already setup the localization in your app, you could still use the NSLocalizedString in for the array elements instead of direct strings.

Assuming that you have a Localizable.strings as:

"BlueMessage" = "This watch is blue";
"RedMessage" = "this watch is red";
"WhiteMessage" = "This watch is white ";

then you could declare watch array as:

var watch = [NSLocalizedString("BlueMessage", comment: ""),
             NSLocalizedString("RedMessage", comment: ""),
             NSLocalizedString("WhiteMessage", comment: "")]

It would be also an array of strings ([String]), containing the localized versions of the strings.
