Did you check to see that the German localization of your strings is included in both targets? If you open both of the app bundles do you see de.lproj folder > PrefVWindow.strings in both?

Both have: app → Content → Resources → de.lproj → PrefWindow.strings

The Objective-C version localises my PrefWindow if I *not* use a WindowController, but instead:

if ( self.window == nil )
{
NSArray *temp;
[ NSBundle.mainBundle loadNibNamed: @"PrefWindow" owner: self topLevelObjects: &temp ];
};

[ self.window makeKeyAndOrderFront: self ];

Either this is a (rather silly) feature of NSWIndowController, or I do not know how to use it properly.
Anyway it works.
Now to fix the Swift version.

I have two apps: one in Objective-C, the other one in Swift.

Both have:

PrefWindow.xib
PrefWindow.xib (Base)
PrefWindow.strings (German)
…

The problem is:

1. The Objective-C version just ignores PrefWindow.strings.
2. The Swift version prints (whenever it should show the window):

… [strings] ERROR: QvC-M9-y7g.title not found in table PrefWindow of bundle CFBundle 0x100d02860 </System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework> (not loaded)
…

But PrefWindow.strings (German) has:
/* Class = "NSWindow"; title = "Preferences"; ObjectID = "QvC-M9-y7g"; */
“QvC-M9-y7g.title" = "Einstellungen";

What am I doing wrong?
