Ok, some more info:
After waiting several minutes (about 5) the task seems to complete and I can navigate Localization.xcloc. However closing Localizable and opening it again starts whatever is happening again. So the hang is not permanent.
Simply opening Localizable.xcloc file directly outside of the project using XCode 16 seems to work without delay and not cause a hang.
The XCode is running at 100% CPU usage during the hang.
Attached a sample of what's going on with XCode a few minutes into waiting for it to finish whatever it is doing, after clicking on Localizable file in the IDE.
