🚀 Update Alert! #TranslateKit 2.1.1 now follows Xcode 16's new key sorting order for String Catalogs for users on Sequoia, helping avoid unnecessary line changes in Git! Xcode has moved away from the JSONEncoder sorting logic used in Xcode 15, so we’re staying in sync. 💻✨

📅 Also, keep an eye out for a free #AI #Proofreader update coming later this month—it’s going to be powerful! 💪 #iOSDev #Xcode #Localization
