iOS Strings

Adding a file for translation

1. Click the "Choose a file" button on the New order page in Nitro.

2. Select "Upload from your computer" and add a file you want to translate.

You can also send your .strings file for translation via Nitro API. More details in the documentation: https://developer.nitro.alconost.com.

Sample file

"key1", "key2", and "key3" are keys. The text contained in the keys is available to the translator as part of the context to the corresponding value and will be transferred unchanged to the final file with the translation.

"value1", "value2", and "value3" are values. Values are processed as text to be translated. The translator will see this text in the editor and translate it into the required languages.

/* Comment for key1 */ and //Comment for key2 are comments. Comments can be one-string, starting with //, and multi-string: /* ... */, and they're placed before the corresponding string. Please note that the comment will only refer to the key and value that follow the comment (//Comment for key2 refers to the "key2" = "value2"; string and doesn't refer to the "key3" = "value3"; string). Comments are optional, but they help the translator understand the context.

Validation

You can only upload a valid .strings file for translation.

The file won't be validated in the following cases:

1. The file has duplicated keys.

2. The key and/or value is without quotation marks, or the quotation marks aren't closed.

3. There is no semicolon after the value.

4. The comment isn't closed (i.e., it has an opening divider /* but no closing one */).

5. The key has no value after the equation.

6. The value has no key before the equation.
