# localizedString(forVariantCode:)

Returns the localized string for the specified variant code.

## Declaration

```swift
func localizedString(forVariantCode variantCode: String) -> String?
```

## Parameters

- `variantCode`: The variant code whose name you want.

## Return Value

Return Value The localized name of the variant.

## Discussion

Discussion For example, calling this method on an American English (en_US) locale, passing "POSIX" for variantCode, produces the string "Computer". This method is equivalent to calling the displayName(forKey:value:) method passing the variantCode key and variantCode value.
