Hi, I have had the same problem you can achieve a string without a numerical specifier when editing the source code of the xcstrings file. right click .xcstrings > Open As > Source Code add this to strings object and edit this as your want: "%lld day" : { "localizations" : { "de" : { "stringUnit" : { "state" : "translated", "value" : "%#@day@" }, "substitutions" : { "day" : { "formatSpecifier" : "lld", "variations" : { "plural" : { "one" : { "stringUnit" : { "state" : "translated", "value" : "Tag" } }, "other" : { "stringUnit" : { "state" : "translated", "value" : "Tage" } } } } } } }, "en" : { "stringUnit" : { "state" : "translated", "value" : "%#@day@" }, "substitutions" : { "day" : { "formatSpecifier" : "lld", "variations" : { "plural" : { "one" : { "stringUnit" : { "state" : "translated", "value" : "day" } }, "other" : { "stringUnit" : { "state" : "translated", "value" : "days" } } } } } } } } }, note: %lld day is translated in German Its sad that we need to this every time manual by adding it to the source code.
