Hey folks,

I’ve been experimenting with localization lately and ended up adding 33 languages to my current side project. I wanted to see what happens when you go all in and include almost every language supported by the App Store.

It was surprisingly tricky — text expansion broke some layouts, RTL languages needed special handling, and managing translations for so many locales was a learning experience on its own.

Now I’m curious how others approach localization in their apps. Do you use automated translation tools, or rely on native speakers? How do you handle testing for languages you don’t speak?

Thanks
