## Description

A specialized MCP server for managing iOS/macOS localization workflows with Xcode String Catalog (.xcstrings) files. Built with FastMCP and OpenAI integration, it provides tools to extract language support information, manage localization keys, and perform automated translations using OpenAI's API with intelligent chunking and rate limiting. The server handles batch processing of up to 50 strings per request with concurrent translation support, preserves iOS placeholder formatting (%@, %d, etc.), and automatically creates backups before applying changes. Particularly valuable for iOS developers managing multi-language apps who need to automate translation workflows while maintaining the integrity of their String Catalog files and ensuring proper placeholder handling for dynamic content.
