# CSLocalizedString

An object that displays localized text in search results related to your app.

## Declaration

```swift
class CSLocalizedString
```

## Overview

Overview The CSLocalizedString class helps you localize text in searchable items. You can use a CSLocalizedString object in place of an NSString object to display localized text in search results related to your app. For example, you might use the following code to define a CSLocalizedString object for a searchable item you want to identify as “Song” in English: CSSearchableItem *item = [CSSearchableItem new];     item.uniqueIdentifier = @"song";       CSSearchableItemAttributeSet *attributes = [[CSSearchableItemAttributeSet alloc] initWithItemContentType:(NSString *)kUTTypeItem];     item.attributeSet = attributes;       CSLocalizedString *displayName = [[CSLocalizedString alloc] initWithLocalizedStrings:@{@"en":@"Song", @"fr":@"Chanson"}];     attributes.displayName = displayName.localizedString;
