feat(ios): finish Simplified and Traditional Chinese, and keep it complete in CI (MOCA-216) - #2283
Conversation
MOCA-216. 101 live keys in ios/App/Localizable.xcstrings had pt-BR but no zh-Hans or zh-Hant, so Live calls, Local VM take control, the compact home list, the routine calendar, Jump to latest, the expired-proposal label and Tap to play showed English on a Chinese phone. - Add zh-Hans and zh-Hant to the 99 keys still in use. 18 reuse the Android app's exact translations; the rest follow the existing iOS glossary (bot 机器人/機器人, thread 对话/對話, routine 例行工作, computer 电脑/電腦, device 设备/裝置, message 消息/訊息), with Live call as 实时通话/即時通話 and Local VM as 本地 VM/本機 VM. zh-Hant uses Taiwan wording (連線, 設定, 觸控式軌跡板, 擴音), not converted Simplified. Format arguments are kept. - The Box -> Boat rename reached English and pt-BR but not Chinese; the two Boat keys' zh values said Box. They say Boat now. - Remove 25 keys nothing under ios/ references any more (the two stale Box keys and 23 left from the old Tasks/channels screens and earlier wording). - scripts/ios-strings.test.mjs runs in the vitest suite and fails, naming the keys, when a key lacks a translated pt-BR, zh-Hans or zh-Hant value or a translation's format arguments differ from the English. - docs/localization.md says the mobile catalogs ship every key translated.

…age in call notices Review fixes for MOCA-216. - The first pass skipped src/locales/zh.json and zh-tw.json, which do exist, so some new iOS strings named things differently from the desktop. They now use its words: Chief of Staff 总协调机器人 (zh-Hans), Take control 接手控制 (zh-Hant, also in the take-control-again hint), Local VM 本地虚拟机 (zh-Hans, in all five strings), Jump to latest 跳到最新 / 跳到最新消息 (zh-Hans). The two instructions that quote desktop settings now quote the real labels: 「允許存取電腦畫面」 for Allow computer view (zh-Hant) and 「完全访问」 / 「完整存取權」 for Full access. - "Collapsed" is only a VoiceOver value on iOS, so it takes Android's accessibility wording (已折叠 / 已收合), not its visible label's. - The busy notice and the remote bar's device line resolved their device names with String(localized:), which follows the phone's language, while the sentence around them follows the in-app picker. An English phone set to Chinese in the app showed "Your computer正在与 a bot 通话。". They are Text now, so the whole line follows the picker. - The routine calendar's day cells drew the date style's day, "28日" in Chinese, inside a 34-point circle that cut it to "2…". They draw the bare number, as Calendar's week strip does. - scripts/ios-strings.test.mjs reads the languages from AppLanguage.swift's cases instead of a fixed list, so a fourth language cannot ship partial. AppLanguage's header and docs/localization.md say so, and the docs now name the app catalog only: the widget catalog is English-only and is not checked.

Use Título for the Portuguese title label.
In Brazilian Portuguese, Cargo means a job position. It misidentifies this generic Title label. Replace it with Título.

Apple Xcode 26 release notes string catalogs named format specifiers %(count)lld
💡 Result:
Xcode 26’s release notes list **Expressive Format Specifiers** for String Catalogs: you can name a format argument, e.g. `%(landmarkCount)lld`, to clarify its meaning for translators. Apple says named specifiers are included in exported `.xcloc` catalogs. ([developer.apple.com](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-26-release-notes?utm_source=openai))
The notes also show `%(count)lld landmarks` as an example for generating a type-safe Swift symbol, accessed as `LocalizedStringResource.landmarks(count: 42)`. ([developer.apple.com](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-26-release-notes?utm_source=openai))
So `%(count)lld` is an integer (`lld`) specifier with the argument named `count`; the name adds context, while `lld` indicates the value’s format.

- 2: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-26-release-notes?utm_source=openai
Handle named format specifiers.
SPECIFIER skips named arguments, so formatArguments returns no arguments for both %(count)lld and %(count)@. The parity check can then accept the conversion mismatch. The current catalog does not use named specifiers, but Xcode string catalogs support them. Extend the parser and add a fixture that checks a named-specifier mismatch.

Apple Xcode string catalog xcstrings JSON substitutions variations plural format substitutions schema
💡 Result:
Here’s the key distinction: **`variations.plural` on the string** and **`substitutions.<name>.variations.plural`** are different structures.
- **A single pluralized string:** put `variations.plural` under the locale. Each plural category contains a `stringUnit`. Xcode supplies the locale-appropriate categories; for English, commonly `one` and `other`. ([developer.apple.com](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/localizing-and-varying-text-with-a-string-catalog?changes=_4&utm_source=openai))
- **Pluralized arguments inside a larger sentence:** the main `stringUnit.value` uses `%#@name@` tokens. Define each token under `substitutions`, with its argument position (`argNum`), C-style `formatSpecifier`, and its own plural variations. Inside a substitution’s translated value, `%arg` represents that argument. ([developer.apple.com](https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10155/?time=282))
Example of the **substitution** shape:
```json
{
"localizations": {
"en": {
"stringUnit": {
"state": "translated",
"value": "%#@files@ in %#@folders@"
},
"substitutions": {
"files": {
"argNum": 1,
"formatSpecifier": "lld",
"variations": {
"plural": {
"one": {
"stringUnit": {
"state": "translated",
"value": "%arg file"
}
},
"other": {
"stringUnit": {
"state": "translated",
"value": "%arg files"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
```
This abbreviated example shows one substitution; a second token such as `folders` would have its own entry. Apple’s WWDC session confirms substitutions support independently pluralized arguments, with `argNum` identifying which interpolated argument to use. ([developer.apple.com](https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10155/?time=282))
**Schema caveat:** Apple’s public documentation explains how Xcode handles plural variants and substitutions, but the sources I found do not establish a complete, formal JSON Schema for `.xcstrings`. Treat the example as the documented structure, not a validation schema; Xcode’s own catalog output is the safest reference for the exact file shape your version emits. ([developer.apple.com](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/localizing-and-varying-text-with-a-string-catalog?changes=_4&utm_source=openai))

Check substitution variations in the catalog test.
When a localization stores plural variants under substitutions, an unfinished nested unit can escape this check. units only visits the root stringUnit and variations. Recurse through each substitution to check its variants.

Require plural.other when a translation uses plural variations.
A translation containing only plural.one passes because found.length is nonzero. The check therefore accepts a plural translation without its required other form. Validate that form before accepting the localization; do not require every English plural category in languages with different plural rules. (developer.apple.com)
