## What it is
Localize-Swift is a Swift library that simplifies localization and internationalization in iOS apps with a Swifty .localized() syntax. It allows users to switch the app's language in-app without changing the device language.

## Use cases
- localize strings in a Swift iOS app
- let users change app language without changing device language
- replace NSLocalizedString with cleaner syntax
- generate Localizable.strings entries from .localized() calls
- observe language change notifications to update UI

## When to choose
- you are building an iOS app in Swift that needs runtime language switching
- you want a lightweight wrapper around existing Localizable.strings files
- you prefer a Swifty API over NSLocalizedString

## When to avoid
- you need localization for Android or cross-platform apps
- you need advanced i18n features like pluralization rules or RTL layout handling
- you are not developing for Apple platforms
