Localization — Foundations Skill

Purpose

Route Apple-platform localization implementation tasks to the minimum required Knowledge Contracts. v1 covers how an app's user-facing strings and resources are extracted, stored, varied, and resolved across languages and regions -- not Xcode project configuration, translator XLIFF workflow, runtime content translation, source-copy style rules, value formatting, or RTL visual design. Baseline is Xcode 16+ with an iOS 17+ API surface; String Catalogs impose no deployment-target cost, since .xcstrings compiles to .strings/.stringsdict at build time.

Routing

Load only the contracts relevant to the task. All paths relative to knowledge/localization/.
