# Apple Localization

Add a language to a Mac app and have it sound native

## What this does

You want a Mac app to show up in another language, and you want the wording to match what people already read elsewhere on macOS. This adds the language files, hooks them into the project, translates the app's text, and reads the result back for anything that sounds off. Good for a first translation or for reviewing one.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Add a new language to a macOS app
- Register the new localization in the Xcode project
- Translate the strings the app shows people

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Apple Localization

Adds and reviews macOS app localizations, in Planet or in another Apple-platform project. That covers creating a new .lproj localization, registering it in the Xcode project, and translating Localizable.strings and InfoPlist.strings.

It also covers the review side: reading newly added translations for awkward wording, and aligning UI text with Apple's shipped macOS terminology by looking at the Apple .lproj resources already present on the same machine.

## Questions

### Is Apple Localization safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Apple Localization and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 1692e3d35e9e, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/apple-localization.

### How do I install Apple Localization?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/apple-localization on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/Planetable/Planet/tree/1692e3d35e9e0ba0d416b04272c11d93d84dc541/tools/apple-localization. Install from that link, not the branch.
