[swift-users] Swift localisation, percentage sign escaping

[Zhao Xin]

Forgot to show an example.

In Swift, below code won't work,

let says = NSLocalizedString("It runs \(count) times", comment: "run times")

You should use

let says = String.localizedStringWithFormat(NSLocalizedString("It runs %@
times", comment: "run times"), String(count))
