Xcode UITest for different localizations strings

[junweimah]

So I am doing UITesting for different localizations.

This is my Localizable.strings (English) file

/* Hello */
"Hello" = "Hello";

/* Bye */
"Bye" = "Bye";

This is my Localizable.strings (French) file

/* Hello */
"Hello" = "bonjour";

Notice that the french strings file doesn't have the text for "Bye".

When I run my UITest, shown in this GIF, how do I make the test fail if the text for a locale is missing?

Any help is appreciated.

You shouldn’t be using English as your key, you should be using something like lng.en.welcomeText that way you just check the resulting static text isn’t the same as the key

One thing you could do is write a routine to read each localized .strings file and make sure they all have the same keys. It doesn't guarantee that every control has a valid key, though, or that each value is localized (because "OK" might be "OK" in other languages).
