Production-grade iOS localization skill covering String Catalogs (.xcstrings), CLDR pluralization, SwiftUI/UIKit localization APIs, RTL layout, date/number/currency formatting, and enterprise patterns (modular apps, white-label, accessibility localization). This skill should be used when creating or editing localized iOS strings, working with .xcstrings or .strings files, implementing pluralization, formatting dates/numbers/currencies for display, building RTL-compatible layouts, localizing…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# iOS Localization

Production-grade localization skill for iOS codebases. AI coding assistants systematically produce broken localization code across 30+ identifiable patterns — from missing Slavic plural categories to hardcoded left/right constraints that shatter RTL layouts. This skill intercepts those patterns and enforces correct localization from the start.

Covers String Catalogs (.xcstrings), CLDR pluralization, SwiftUI/UIKit APIs, date/number/currency formatting, RTL layout, accessibility localization, and enterprise patterns (modular apps, white-label, Swift Packages).

## Why This Skill Exists

AI assistants generate localization code trained predominantly on English-only codebases. The result: only `one`/`other` plurals (breaking Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Arabic), hardcoded English strings, `String(format:)` without positional specifiers, `dateFormat` strings that break in non-Gregorian calendars, and left/right constraints that break for 400M+ Arabic/Hebrew users. These bugs are silent in English testing and only surface in production.

## Quick Decision Trees

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rusel95/ios-agent-skills/ios-localization@sha256:093c3033aa3b97ec

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
