Summary:
It is not possible to create localized asset catalogs using Xcode.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new iOS or OSX project.
2. Create a new localization of the app. The language of the new localization does not matter.

Expected Results:
A dialog with all resources to be localized. 
After adding a localization, a button to localize a non localized Asset Catalog in the File Inspector when the asset catalog is selected.

4. Moreover, once you have more than one localization, it is not possible to localize an asset catalog from the UI:  . This works for other non localized resources (e.g. images:)

Actual Results:
The dialog does not show any asset catalogs to be localized when adding a localization: http://cl.ly/image/1p3C3O161V06
After adding the localization, there is no button to localize the asset catalog: http://cl.ly/image/0D103D1n1U2D. This button is present on non localized images: http://cl.ly/image/373S2y3C2v1T)

Notes:
With some tricks, it is possible to create a localized asset catalog. See this stackoverflow answer which describes how to do it: http://stackoverflow.com/a/19452251
