Localization helper for iOS apps mainly focusing on the LTR/RTL issue
Add pod 'MOLH'
to your podfile. (check https://cocoapods.org/ for more info about cocoapods)
You can install it through Swift package manager as well.
import MOLH
When you start the app
MOLH.shared.activate(true)
Make sure this method is called only once and not on every reset
or
MOLH.shared.activate(false)
to not use swizzling and use subclassing from MOLH* UI classes.
MOLH.setLanguageTo(MOLHLanguage.currentAppleLanguage() == "en" ? "ar" : "en")
MOLH.reset()
Before .activate set
MOLHLanguage.setDefaultLanguage("ar")
you can choose to not use swizzling MOLH.shared.activate(false)
, in that case you subclass MOLH-UI Subclasses , like MOLHTextField
, this will give you more controlability as you can by-pass the tag requirement by using forceSwitchingRegardlessOfTag
and set it to true.
To make sure an image is flipped when switching to RTL or to LTR, you can use flipIfNeeded()
function on image or UIImage().imageFlippedForRightToLeftLayoutDirection()
Its better to have the app fonts in one place in your app, e.g. a FontManager. and there you can decide which font to use based on the chosen language, this would be the eaiser way.
Some controls such as ActionSheetDatePicker have locale property so you can set them appropriately e.g.
actionSheetDatePicker?.locale = Locale(identifier: MOLHLanguage.currentLocaleIdentifier())
use this line to solve it
collectionView.semanticContentAttribute = .unspecified
