Xcode - exclude certain strings from localization

Question

When localizing my storyboard, I get entries in my strings file that look like:

/* Class = "NSTextFieldCell"; title = "Text Cell"; ObjectID = "vHF-LZ-23i"; */ "vHF-LZ-23i.title" = "Text Cell";

Is there anyway to exclude dummy text or other strings from going into the storyboard localization strings files?

As Jenszcz mentioned in his comment that you can solve this problem by using BartyCrouch open-source project, I was curios to give it a try And worked excellently :) Here are the steps I followed to get it work within 5 minutes.

1- Install BartyCrouch. See the installation procedure from url.

2- Created a sample project, which you can access here. In that project created 2 labels ("Text Included" & "Text Excluded #bc-ignore!").

3- Add RunScript (instructions on how to add a build script here)

if which bartycrouch > /dev/null; then
    bartycrouch update -x
    bartycrouch lint -x
else
    echo "warning: BartyCrouch not installed, download it from https://github.com/Flinesoft/BartyCrouch"
fi

4- After building the project the Main.strings file excluded one label.Here are the screenshots showing the storyboard file & .strings file.
