MOLH
Localization helper for iOS apps mainly focusing on the LTR/RTL issue
Install
Add pod 'MOLH' to your podfile. (check https://cocoapods.org/ for more info about cocoapods)
You can install it through Swift package manager as well.
How To Use
import MOLH
Start
When you start the app
MOLH.shared.activate(true)
or
MOLH.shared.activate(false) to not use swizzling and use subclassing from MOLH* UI classes.
To reset the language
MOLH.setLanguageTo(MOLHLanguage.currentAppleLanguage() == "en" ? "ar" : "en")
MOLH.reset()
Set default
Before .activate set
MOLHLanguage.setDefaultLanguage("ar")
using without swizzling (prefered)
you can choose to not use swizzling MOLH.shared.activate(false) , in that case you subclass MOLH-UI Subclasses , like MOLHTextField , this will give you more controlability as you can by-pass the tag requirement by using forceSwitchingRegardlessOfTag and set it to true.
Images
To make sure an image is flipped when switching to RTL or to LTR, you can use flipIfNeeded() function on image or UIImage().imageFlippedForRightToLeftLayoutDirection()
Fonts
Its better to have the app fonts in one place in your app, e.g. a FontManager. and there you can decide which font to use based on the chosen language, this would be the eaiser way.
Other Frameworks and bundles
Some controls such as ActionSheetDatePicker have locale property so you can set them appropriately e.g.
actionSheetDatePicker?.locale = Locale(identifier: MOLHLanguage.currentLocaleIdentifier())
Common Issues
Collection view content are flipped in a non readable way
use this line to solve it
collectionView.semanticContentAttribute = .unspecified
