How to localize UIApplicationShortcutItems static objects?

Question

With the iPhone 6s, Apple introduced a new feature called "3D Touch." Application developers can use this technology, using it in their applications or by providing the so-called UIApplicationShortcutItems on the main screen, which appears when your 3D Touch matches the icon of the corresponding application. I saw a lot of people who wanted to know how you can localize them. Here is how.

Answer 1

What you need to do if you have not yet created a new string file called InfoPlist.strings , then you localize this string file in the languages ​​you need using the File Inspector on the right.

Now you write down the key (for example: ADD_ITEM_SHORTCUT_TITLE or ADD_ITEM_SHORTCUT_DESCRIPTION ) and the correct translation for each localized file. For instance:

English file:

 ADD_ITEM_SHORTCUT_TITLE = "Add"; ADD_ITEM_SHORTCUT_DESCRIPTION = "a new item"; 

German file:

 ADD_ITEM_SHORTCUT_TITLE = "Füge hinzu"; ADD_ITEM_SHORTCUT_DESCRIPTION = "ein neues Item"; 

Then go to your Info.plist and enter your key in the appropriate field. For instance:

This way you get a localized UIApplicationShortcutItems . Now they look like this:
