import Foundation

struct Localizable {
  static let test = NSLocalizedString("test", tableName: "Localizable", comment: "") // test_value
}

It is available in python2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7

foo@bar:~$ pip install -U pyxstr2swift

foo@bar:~$ xstr2swift [-h] [--st STRUCTNAME] [-f] [-m] [-v] source target
foo@bar:~$ python -m pyxstr2swift.xstr2swift [-h] [--structname STRUCTNAME] [-f] [-m] source target

To use it in Xcode build pharses,

1. Install this module using python PIP. If pip is not installed on your device, this command helps you.

foo@bar:~$ brew install python
foo@bar:~$ pip3 install --upgrade pyxstr2swift

or

install anaconda and set configures https://www.anaconda.com/download/

2. Add a output swift file to your project
3. Add a strings file to your project and write string keys and values
4. Add Run Script to build pharses before Compile Sources
5. Change Shell /bin/sh to /bin/bash (or /bin/zsh)
6. Write shell command. For example,

#If you use anaconda, anaconda3/bin should be added to path
#export PATH="${HOME}/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
pip install --upgrade pyxstr2swift
xstr2swift -f -m "${SRCROOT}/Your project/en.lproj/Localizable.strings" "${SRCROOT}/Your project/Localizable.swift"

My project's shell command is that

# .bash_profile includes export PATH="${HOME}/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
source ~/.bash_profile

# a conda env is already created that name is iosdev
conda activate iosdev
pip install --upgrade pyxstr2swift
xstr2swift -f -m "${SRCROOT}/My Project/en.lproj/Localizable.strings" "${SRCROOT}/My Project/Localizable.swift"
conda deactivate

7. That' all! build Your project now!

usage: xstr2swift [-h] [-st STRUCTNAME] [-f] [-m] [-v] source target
