It seems you need some basic explanations about something that unfortunately even most programmers don’t understand properly. Files like your HTML page are saved and transmitted over the Internet as a sequence of bytes, but you want them displayed as characters. In order to translate bytes into characters, you need a set of rules called … Read more
Years later I find that the accepted answer which is based on the ‘fo’ or ‘foo’ (Faroese) locale no longer works. Perhaps it is as Jukka speculated: the Faroese authorities decided to switch (to d/m/y) or their locale info got corrected. And, unfortunately, the explicit ‘ISO8601’ locale that is proposed has still not been added … Read more
So far I’ve found Transolution and there are a few more listed on the XLIFF Tools page. Transolution seems to be supported on Windows and it uses Python. I don’t know what OS solution you’re looking for, but it there is hope on the XLIFF Tools Software list. Interesting question, I’d like to see what … Read more
MySQL’s utf32 and utf8mb4 (as well as standard UTF-8) can directly store any character specified by Unicode; the former is fixed size at 4 bytes per character whereas the latter is between 1 and 4 bytes per character. utf8mb3 and the original utf8 can only store the first 65,536 codepoints, which will cover CJVK (Chinese, … Read more
Unicode characters have different properties associated with them. These properties cannot be derived from the code point; you need a table that tells you if a character has a certain property or not. You are interested in characters with bidirectional property “R” or “AL” (RandALCat). A RandALCat character is a character with unambiguously right-to-left directionality. … Read more

When you generate a translation file for the main app with the CLI (with ng xi18n), elements with the attribute i18n in the library are imported in the translation file. You can then define the translations in the main app.
We’ve resorted to connecting every label to an @IBOutlet and setting its translation in viewDidLoad() with NSLocalizedString. You are doing that right. Seriously. Wrap your development process around it and you’ll get way better off than trying to adopt the mess that the Storyboard localization evolved into. It solves pt.4 – you decide what you … Read more
