    func localizedWithFormat(bundle: Bundle = .main, tableName: String = "Localizable", args: CVarArg...) -> String {
        String.localizedStringWithFormat(self.localized(bundle: bundle, tableName: tableName), args)
    }
}

struct Localizations {

    private init() {}

    /// Base translation: Hello %@, welcome in our app.
    static func welcomeText(args: CVarArg...) -> String {
        "welcomeText".localizedWithFormat(args: args)
    }
    /// Base translation: Close
    static let close = "close".localized()
}

Just include this generated file in your XCode project and rerun the script whenever the .strings file is updated.
