SwiftUI AppIntents iOS16: How to localize Summary?

Question

Im trying to localize the Summary of my new SwiftUI AppIntent on my Swift project for making new Shortcuts.

I am not able to localize the Summary. I have created a AppShortcuts.strings with Localize of English and Spanish languages like in this page appears: click here.

AppShortcuts.string (es):

"add ${numberOne} ${numberTwo}" = "Sumar: ${numberOne} ${numberTwo}";

Shortcut:

static var parameterSummary: some ParameterSummary {
        Summary("add \(\.$numberOne) \(\.$numberTwo)") {
            \.$numberThree
            \.$numberFour
        }
    }

As stated in the article you have already mentioned these directives have to go into Localizable.strings:

ParameterSummary – This one is tricky. You'd think that because it has a variable it should be with the translations of the phrases in AppShortcuts.strings, but no, it belongs in Localizable.strings.

Don't know why but that works for me.

Create your translation in Localizable.strings this way:

"Do something with ${text}" = "Do something with ${text}";

You have to put the exact name of the parameter you are interpolating, if you do interpolate.

static var parameterSummary: some ParameterSummary {
    Summary("Do something \(\.$text)")
}

@Parameter(title: "To do")
var text: String
