@MuseumShuffle@mastodon.social Xcode has a few pseudolanguages you can enable to make it easier to test this stuff – one of them doubles the length of every string (e.g. hello becomes hellohello), making it similar to things like German without having to use your app in German

@shaundon@mstdn.social @MuseumShuffle@mastodon.social I remember someone doing translation checking, in a pseudo language which was English but just upside down. Which made it really easy to tell if any strings had not been internationalised. This was several years ago, and I can’t remember if it was iPhone, or something else like Java / MIDP. But it looked cute. :-)
