How to create localizable XCode previews

Two flowers that represent SwiftUI and XCode side by side. Beneath them sits the text "Localizable Previews."

To preview localizable content within a XCode preview, use an environment variable or pass a language code to an object that holds localizable information.

The example can be found on the main branch of our SwiftUI Open Source Starter Project linked below.

A screenshot of the code of a preview that uses the locale environment variable as well as passing the LanguageCoordinator the language code.

To localize content using Apple's standard framework, the the following modifier: .environment(\.locale, .init(identifier: languageCode))

We have also adapted this example to show how it works with a custom coordinator like our LanguageCoordinator.
