# init(localized:including:) Creates a localized attributed string from a localized string resource, including an attribute scope. ``` init(localized resource: LocalizedStringResource, including scope: S.Type) where S : AttributeScope ``` ## Parameters `resource` A [`LocalizedStringResource`](/documentation/Foundation/LocalizedStringResource) that provides the localization key, table, bundle, and locale. `scope` An attribute scope to associate with the attributed string. ## Discussion Call this initializer to look up the localization indicated by `resource`. Alter the resource’s [`locale`](/documentation/Foundation/LocalizedStringResource/locale) prior to calling this method if you want to localize this string in a different locale than the process that created the [`LocalizedStringResource`](/documentation/Foundation/LocalizedStringResource). The attributed string contains attributes of type [`AttributeScopes.FoundationAttributes.LocalizedStringArgumentAttributes`](/documentation/Foundation/AttributeScopes/FoundationAttributes/LocalizedStringArgumentAttributes-swift.struct) to indicate runs containing formatted text, such as localized numbers or dates. Access these attributes with the attribute key [`localizedNumericArgument`](/documentation/Foundation/AttributeScopes/FoundationAttributes/LocalizedStringArgumentAttributes-swift.struct/localizedNumericArgument) or [`localizedDateArgument`](/documentation/Foundation/AttributeScopes/FoundationAttributes/LocalizedStringArgumentAttributes-swift.struct/localizedDateArgument). --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
