Problem:
--------
When coding with Cocoa, you use NSLocalizedString... macros to be a
good world citizen and be ready for localizations. Yet, from times to
times, you forget to add the related strings into the appropriate
.strings file.
There are already some tools that you can launch to create (maybe
update) a .strings file from a .m/.mm file but you still have to launch
them and since you forgot to add the string, there is no reason why you
would not do that too.
Suggestion:
-----------
Since Xcode is already eating CPU times with Syntax coloring, Code
sense and pre-building, couldn't it be possible to eat another few CPU
cycles to dynamically create or update .strings files using background
on-the-fly NSLocalizedString... parsing?
This would :
- be useful and save the life of many localization Bothans.
- prevent forgetting to add the strings to the .strings file.
