Localite is a lightweight localization package for iOS that simplifies the remote management of strings files.
It allows you to download and cache localization files from a remote server,
making it easier to keep your app's localization up to date without requiring frequent app updates.

• Remote fetching and caching of strings files.
• Efficient version management for localization files.
• Support for multiple languages.

You can use Swift Package Manager to integrate Localite into your Xcode project.

In Xcode, go to File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency and enter the repository URL:

https://github.com/TelemTobi/Localite.git

Initialize the Localite configuration by setting up your app to use a specific language and providing a URL for the strings file.

import Localite

// Get the first language in user's preferred langauges your app supports
Localite.shared.configure(using: yourStringsFileURL, for: "en", version: 1)

Or, when your app supports only one language:

// Initialize Localite for a single language
Localite.shared.configure(using: yourStringsFileURL)

The file will be cached for offline mode support.

Once Localite is configured, you can access localized strings using the standard NSLocalizedString function.
Localite will automatically fetch the strings file from the provided URL, cache it, and use it for localization.

let localizedString = NSLocalizedString("hello_key", comment: "")

Localite provides version management for localization files.
When you initialize Localite with a version number, it will only fetch the file if the version is greater than the last fetched version.
If no version is provided, the file will always be fetched.

You can also check the cached version for a specific language:

let cachedVersion = Localite.shared.cachedVersion(for: "en")

To clear the Localite cache, including cached strings files and content, use the clearCache method:

Localite.shared.clearCache()

• iOS 11.0+
• Xcode 12.0+
• Swift 5.0+
