We use a localization service that allows us to export our translated strings in .xliff format. When I import the spanish (es.xliff) file into the string catalogs it imports the english keys and leaves the spanish translation column empty, which causes it to default to English. I created feedback 12429535 and 12429469 because it seems the feedback site is broken and shows it cannot find the feedback I just submitted.

In the Settings App, when I go to Accessibility, the only item listed in the SPEECH section is Live Speech. Can I create a personal voice on an iPad? I am using an iPad 8th gen 32 GB, running iPadOS 17 beta 2 (17.0, 21A5268h)

How can a MacOS user, who can only use a keyboard, select a datalist option on Safari? So far, it is possible to highlight an option using the arrow keys, but when the desired selection is found and highlighted, there is no way to select that option. Combinations Used: Enter + [Shift | Control | Option Command]

I'm currently working on a music program that I may want the DND status to provide suitable music recommendations to users. I searched the main page of API on APPLE.com but found nothing similar. So is it possible I can get access to such API?

I migrated to String Catalog in my app. That worked fine, and everything is OK in the Simulator and even on a real device. However, After I deployed the App and it became available in the AppStore, I started receiving Feedback from some users. Seems my app is no longer doing localization. It always presents itself in its development language. Has anyone else experienced this?

My app supports English and another language. The English string catalog is empty. Running the app in English in Xcode 15 beta 3, all strings are displayed in capital letters. It seems the behavior when translations are missing. Do we need to translate each English key into the same English translation, or is it a bug?

When adding a new language I added something I don't intend on supporting however you are unable to delete an added language once added. Yes, I could edit the file as source code and remove all the e.g. de-DE references but that shouldn't be needed. Edit: Submitted this as feedback via FB12576340

Searching Google (let alone this forum) returns zero results. Does anyone know what causes this error message and how to resolve it (or whether it's safe to ignore)? Thanks!

Hello, Upon registration to be able to localise the App for the users I am requesting the countryCode: (Locale.current as NSLocale).object(forKey: NSLocale.Key.countryCode) as? String Most of the values are the one expected ("US", "GB", "DE", ...), however in some cases I have numeric country codes like "419" or "241". I wanted to know if this was expected and how I can make them fallback to the regular country code that are none numeric. Thank you

Dear Experts, NSLocale has a notification NSCurrentLocaleDidChangeNotification and a property autoupdatingCurrentLocale ("A locale which tracks the user’s current preferences"). These suggest that an app should be able to detect when the user changes their language preference while running, or when it is resumed from the background. In practice, when I change language in the Settings app (either globally or just for my app), the app is terminated by iOS and restarts with new locale. Is this the expected behaviour? I am wondering if there is something I need to do to advertise that the app can adopt language changes without restarting, or something. Maybe only date-time formats, etc., trigger the notification but language changes don't?

If I turn on Assistive Access, I can't call anyone via Calls. It seems that my SIM card is blocked. Because as soon as I go back to the normal view, I always have to enter my sim code again. Does anyone have an idea? I use IOS17 in Dutch.

Let me just start by saying that I absolutely love this mode, but in it's current form I find it nearly unusable. Not sure if the following are bugs or intended features. Going into assistive mode means you can't make calls by default. The only way to output calls is by adding each and every single contact manually by clicking 'Make Calls To Selected Contacts' and adding them. The option 'Receiving calls from' allows you to select 'All Contacts'. The 'Make Calls To' sections would benefit significantly from the addition of an 'All Contacts' option. Worth mentioning that I did receive a call from an unknown number, despite it not being added to my contacts (this is the behaviour I would expect, but it's relevant for the following point) Similarly to the above, but much more egregious, you have to add each contact individually to the 'Send Messages To' or otherwise there will be no space to begin typing. BUT, messages from non-contacts are not received whatsoever. I can confirm not receiving any google verification codes and a text from a co-worker whose phone number I had not yet saved. I find it paramount to have the option to receive any text that reaches the phone. Lastly, the text window could just behave and look like the 'regular text' window. It feels a bit cumbersome in it's current iteration. A couple other minor things I noticed: The Ring/Silent switch seems to not function. Typing makes the sound effect despite the switch being off. WhatsApp will play a notification sound, but there is no visual queue to inform that it came from WhatsApp resulting in having to manually look through for the notification's origin. Looking forward to continue watching this feature evolve !

Xcode 15 beta 6 : Xcode is looking for "${applicationName}" in the strings file keys instead of the value only. (it was working on Xcode 14) error : Invalid Utterance. Every App Shortcut utterance should have one '${applicationName}' in it.

I have an App with multiple string catalogs. I mistyped the name of a table in one of my String(localized: "Some English Text", table "nonExistingTable") instances. I did not receive a compile-time warning telling me the table was missing and my application defaulted to the English text instead. Is this expected behaviour or a bug?

Hello, I am implementing voice over for a UITextField which contains a currency field, the drawback is that voice over reads that field in dollars and the currency that I need to implement is another. I have tried to use NumberFormatter and it reads me the type of currency I need but in the end it pronounces the word dollar

Why is the custom localized string macro name only allowed for Objective C and C code? I have a wrapper class for localization which is a Swift function. I'm unable to get the strings i pass to it localized. Is there any way to get it working other than writing an objective C class and adding it to the bridging header?

Dear experts, I get glyphs from the system font using CTFontGetGlyphsForCharacters, something like this: UIFont* uifont = [UIFont monospacedDigitSystemFontOfSize: s weight: w]; CTFontRef font = (__bridge CTFontRef)uifont; CTFontGetGlyphsForCharacters(font, ....); The characters that I ask for are basically latin-1 plus a few others. The app is not localised for Chinese. When I change the phone's default language to Chinese, this code gets glyphs for most characters OK but it fails for a few punctuation symbols: 91 = [ 93 = ] 183 = middle dot 8220 = left double curly quote 8221 = right double curly quote Can anyone guess what's going on here? What's special about those characters? Thanks, Phil.

This simple text: Text("10'20\"") when the localisation is a RightToLeft, like Arabic on iMac show "20'10 on iOS show 10'20" Which is the correct one? Why the are different?

Hello, I've set up assistive access on a Iphone 13 pro, and when I access the messages app, I can only view, read and touch to listen to messages on the app. The option to compose a message and send is not available. Is this a known issue?
