Feedback CB: Disagree with image asset catelog use

[cprime]

“Image assets should be contained in the Images.xcassets file.” This has some big implications for localization and we should probably come up with a convention for images that need to be localized. The options are basically (1) don’t put them in an xcassets file or (2) localize the filename and use different filenames for each language/region. (I vote for the former.)

What are the implications for localization?

There has to be a better way here. The purpose of a style guide is to have convention over configuration - here is where we might say that localized images need to have a prefix - and come up with a UIImage override that will replace imagename with imagename-en or imagename-jp, so on and so forth.

I think until we have some projects that use localization it is probably premature to come up with a style guide to handle that.
