As mobile apps continue to grow, entire projects may no longer be a granular enough level for localization. Our project, specifically, would benefit greatly from being able to limit localization to individual targets within a project.

I suggest adding a "target" flag to the "xcodebuild -exportLocalizations" command line:

xcodebuild -exportLocalizations -localizationPath <dirpath> -project <projectname> -target <targetname> [[-exportLanguage <targetlanguage>]]

In this example, the "-target <targetname>" portion has been added. If specified, it would limit the action to files included within the specified target rather than to all files included in the project.

Similarly, there should be a command line method of ingesting updated localization XLIFF files. There is not currently an "xcodebuild -importLocalizations" flag.
