What's NSLocalizedString equivalent in Swift?

Question

I use next solution:

1) create extension:

extension String {
    var localized: String {
        return NSLocalizedString(self, tableName: nil, bundle: Bundle.main, value: "", comment: "")
    }
}

2) in Localizable.strings file:

"Hi" = "Привет";

3) example of use:

myLabel.text = "Hi".localized

enjoy! ;)

--upd:--

for case with comments you can use this solution:

1) Extension:

extension String {
    func localized(withComment:String) -> String {
        return NSLocalizedString(self, tableName: nil, bundle: Bundle.main, value: "", comment: withComment)
    }
}

2) in .strings file:

/* with !!! */
"Hi" = "Привет!!!";

3) using:

myLabel.text = "Hi".localized(withComment: "with !!!")

The NSLocalizedString exists also in the Swift's world.

func NSLocalizedString(
    key: String,
    tableName: String? = default,
    bundle: NSBundle = default,
    value: String = default,
    #comment: String) -> String

The tableName, bundle, and value parameters are marked with a default keyword which means we can omit these parameters while calling the function. In this case, their default values will be used.

This leads to a conclusion that the method call can be simplified to:

NSLocalizedString("key", comment: "comment")

Swift 5 - no change, still works like that.

A variation of the existing answers:

Swift 5.1:

extension String {

    func localized(withComment comment: String? = nil) -> String {
        return NSLocalizedString(self, comment: comment ?? "")
    }

}

You can then simply use it with or without comment:

"Goodbye".localized()
"Hello".localized(withComment: "Simple greeting")

Please note that genstrings won't work with this solution.

By using this way its possible to create a different implementation for different types (i.e. Int or custom classes like CurrencyUnit, ...). Its also possible to scan for this method invoke using the genstrings utility. Simply add the routine flag to the command

genstrings MyCoolApp/Views/SomeView.swift -s localize -o .

extension:

import UIKit

extension String {
    public static func localize(key: String, comment: String) -> String {
        return NSLocalizedString(key, comment: comment)
    }
}

usage:

String.localize("foo.bar", comment: "Foo Bar Comment :)")
