[swift-users] Localization in Swift.

[Zhao Xin]

I has known that, and it is the developer's choice,  which means, the
developer has already known that. There are many circumstances that there
are no needs to translate at all. For example, if I want show the user that
I have to ask him to give me permission of a folder, the `url.path` has no
need to translate.

And of course,
` String.localizedStringWithFormat(NSLocalizedString("​blabla%​@​blabla",
comment: "​blabla"), ​` has already allows to do that. I just think it
should be in a more Swift way by using `\(foo)`.
