I'm working on localizing my prompts to support multiple languages, and in some cases my prompts has String interpolated Generable objects. for example:

"Given the following workout routine: \(routine), suggest one additional exercise to complement it."

In the Strings dictionary, I'm only able to select String, Int or Double parameters using %@ and %lld.

Has anyone found a way to accomplish this?

To create a prompt object with a mix of localized strings and Generable objects, you can pass your Generable directly to the Prompt initializer:

Prompt {
    String(localized: "Given the following workout routine, suggest one additional exercise to complement it:")
    routine
}

Instead of localizing the prompt, you can also prompt the model in English, and instruct it to generate a localized result. You may then find it easier to iterate over the prompt like this over relying on external translators to create a localized prompt for you.

// After checking that `locale` is supported by the model:
let languageName = Locale(identifier: "en").localizedString(forLanguageCode: locale.languageCode)
Prompt {
    "Given the following workout routine, suggest one additional exercise to complement it. Respond in \(languageName)."
    routine
}
