According to https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/AboutInformationPropertyListFiles.html property list keys can be put into InfoPlist.strings to be localised.

When adding NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription in InfoPlist.string, it will not show on iOS14 with the newly introduce local network permission dialog. Instead only the “default” text is shown.
Only when NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription is added to Info.plist it will be shown. However it’s not possible to localise it in Info.plist.

We want to prepare our App already and provide localised NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription so that our users have propers information right from the beginning when iOS14 will be available.

Hi everyone,

I just tested with iOS 14.2 Beta and can confirm, that the translated string for NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription (from InfoPlist.strings) is used in the system alert. Now it works like expected.

Thanks, Andy
