This post is from the WWDC26 Localization Q&A.

I'm amazed by agentic coding presented in the "Translate your app using agents in Xcode" session.

Does agentic translation support localized strings contained in Objective-C modules?

Does it support strings in Interface Builder XIBs?

Hi!

Yes, agentic translation does support localized strings contained in Objective-C modules. It doesn't matter if the strings are coming from Swift or Objective-C as long as they are in the String Catalogs.

XIB file strings are also supported. As long as your XIB file strings are being extracted to String Catalogs they will be eligible for translation too without having to add additional context. If you encounter any issues please file a feedback!
