I submitted a Feedback FB19925261 with a demo project two months ago, but it’s still marked as Open. The issue still persists in Xcode 26.1 + watchOS 26.1. Could someone kindly take a look at the status of this Feedback?
watchOS 26 Control Widget AppEnum not Localized
Your feedback report is under the investigation of the WidgetKit folks. There is unfortunately nothing meaningful to share other than that.
In the follow-up of your report, you mentioned that moving the contents of the demo's SharedTypes.swift file into the widgets target fixes the issue. Did you mean that SharedTypes.swift wasn't in the widget target before?
The file defines the intent (ConfigSportTypeIntent) used in your control value provider (SportTypeProvider), which is used in your control widget (StartSportControlWidget). I am wondering how you could build your widget if the file isn't in the target...
Best,

Thank you for your reply. What I mean is that if I only add SharedTypes.swift to the widget target and remove it from the watchOS target, AppEnum will correctly display internationalized text.
However, I cannot use this workaround because while the project would compile normally, clicking the control widget would fail to navigate correctly to the watchOS app since the main target lacks the corresponding code.
Additionally, the iPhone Watch App functions correctly. When configuring watch faces in the Watch App, AppEnum displays internationalized text properly. This issue only occurs on the Apple Watch physic devices.
