Lin is an Xcode plugin that provides auto-completion for NSLocalizedString and related localization functions in Objective-C and Swift. It installs into Xcode's plugin directory and supports Xcode 6 or later.
Use cases
- autocomplete NSLocalizedString keys in Xcode
- speed up iOS localization string lookups
- avoid typos in localization keys in Objective-C and Swift
- complete NSLocalizedStringFromTable arguments
- install an Xcode plugin via Alcatraz for i18n
When to choose
- you work on an older Xcode (6-7 era) project with heavy NSLocalizedString usage
- you want fast, typo-free localization key completion in Objective-C or Swift
When to avoid
- you use a modern Xcode version, since unofficial plugin support was removed and this project is unmaintained since 2016
- you use modern string catalogs or third-party localization tooling instead of NSLocalizedString
