Hi Ted,
If I've understood correctly it seems you want to localise your accessibility identifier. As far as I'm aware this isn't an intended usage if identifiers.
Instead you should provide an accessibilityLabel in addition to your identifier. This label can be localised.
We do that on our app and this means all our UI testing can use identifiers which are set in stone. And the label value which is spoken by voice over is localised for the user.
Hope that helps.
