Marking some XIB/Storyboard strings as not localizable

by

I add a note “DNL” to the “Comment for Localizer” field in the identity tab. Then, I run this command to automatically remove all of those elements from the XLIFF:

xmlstarlet ed -d "//*[contains(text(), 'Note = \"DNL\"')]/.." en.xliff > out.xliff

Basically, it’s using xmlstarlet (which can be downloaded via homebrew) to find all elements that contain the text Note = "DNL", and then deleting the parent of that element from the XLIFF.

Combined with using xcodebuild -exportLocalizations, you can make a pretty simple script for generating your XLIFFs:

xcodebuild -exportLocalizations -localizationPath build -project ProjectName.xcodeproj
xmlstarlet ed -d "//*[contains(text(), 'Note = \"DNL\"')]/.." build/en.xliff > build/out.xliff
