The first step is to extract the text to translate into language files. This process is called internationalization. The built-in libraries can be used to extract the text to translate into .strings files.
Once you have internationalized your Swift app, use a translation software localization tool such as WebTranslateIt to manage your localization workflow.
It is easy to translate a Swift app with WebTranslateIt. Create a project, upload your source language file in the File Manager and translate it on the Translation Interface.
The tools included in WebTranslateIt, such as Batch Operations, the Translation Memory or Machine Translation can help you translate that file automatically, faster and cost effectively.
