Module Overview

The Resources module provides app-specific resources used across features:

• Localization: Centralized strings with String.localized() extension
• Bundle: Manual Bundle.module accessor for resources

Location: Shared/Resources/

Note: Shared modules are app-specific (not reusable across apps), unlike Libraries which are generic and reusable.

Supported Languages

Language	Code	Status
English	en	Source language
Spanish	es	Fully translated

The app uses .xcstrings format (Apple's modern localization format for iOS 16+).

Structure:

Localization

All localized strings are centralized in the Resources module.
