# localizedDescription

A localized description of the type.

## Declaration

```swift
var localizedDescription: String? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion If the type doesn’t provide a description, the system searches its supertypes. A dynamic type doesn’t have localized description, even if its supertypes do.
