Localization in SwiftUI

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Builds a SwiftUI sample app for runners, exposes issues with Xcode previews and localization, and fixes them by adding preview formatter wrappers and a translation lookup structure so previews actually render dates, distances and strings per locale. Adds UI tests that attach screenshots and uses xcode test plan configurations plus xcodebuild to run those tests across locales and devices. Screenshots prove localization works; widgets remain unsupported by UI automation.
