Localizer

Localizer is a pretty simple and naive string localizer Xcode Source Editor Extension.

It was developed more like a learning exercise rather that to be used in the real world.

What does it do?

It expects a selection (e.g. you can't call the command unless you selected some text).

It then breaks apart any String declarations it founds by splitting the selection based off " and then wrap the resulting String inside NSLocalizedString.

Example

let _ = "This is a string"

If we select the above line (or only the string including the ") and run Localizer we'll get the following output:

let _ = NSLocalizedString("This is a string", comment: "This is a string")

TODO

Add an option to «localize» a whole document
Make it smart enough to detect Strings already wrapped in NSLocalizedString and avoid touching them
Improve the String detection (tried with RegularExpression but it did not work, most likely my fault and a lack of regular-expression-fu).
