A step by step guide on implementing and testing international product information for StoreKit In-App Purchases or Subscriptions.
The guide was made using our Free iOS StoreKit 2 Open Source project which is recommended for developers or business folk wishing to learn about how In-App Purchases or Subscriptions work and the code behind them.
The following walkthrough assumes that you have already setup StoreKit with a localized offering and developed a UI that allows an app to display products.
Please consult the guides below to learn how to setup StoreKit, create a StoreKit offering or design a UI that considers all StoreKit scenarios.

Step One: Implement the localized strings
When writing code for the product name and description, use the displayName and description StoreKit product properties.
If you are curious about what a Styleguide is, why we use it or how to implement one in Swift, please consult the articles below.

Change the StoreKit default localization in XCode to the language that you wish to test.
Step Three: Verify
Run the app and confirm that the product display names and descriptions appear as desired.
