Originator:david.w.hart

Status:Open Resolved:
Product:Developer Tools Product Version:Xcode-beta (7A165t)
Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
The —import-strings-file described in ibtool’s man page does not return any error but does not work.

Steps to Reproduce:
I attached a few files:

- A storyboard and xib each containing a single label with the text “Computer”
- A strings file for each of them previously exported with —export-strings-file but with the “Computer” text modified to “Ordinateur” - computer in french :)
- A script that calls ibtool with —import-strings-file with storyboard and with the xib

Expected Results:
I expect the storyboard and xib to have their label’s text replaced with “Ordinateur”.

Actual Results:
ibtool with —import-strings-file does not report any error but the storyboard and xib files are not modified.

Regression:
Reproduced in Xcode 6’s ibtool.
