Translate your app using agents in Xcode

A Podkey summary of Translate your app using agents in Xcode, from WWDC 2026.A lot of app localization used to come down to guesswork, cleanup, and somebody eventually spotting that a button label made no sense in another language. What’s changing here is that translation agents are getting much better context, better guidance, and a much tighter feedback loop with the actual UI, so the work starts looking less like blind string conversion and more like a real product workflow. The big themes are context-aware translation, plural handling, team-specific guidance, layout checking, model choice, native-speaker testing, and an iterative process that keeps up with new features instead of turning localization into a one-time fire drill.Why context changes everythingPlural forms and batch-aware subagentsGiving the agent a house styleChecking the UI after the translationModel choice still mattersWhy native-speaker testing still mattersKeeping localization in sync with developmentThis podcast was created with Podkey.
