### Installation

```bash

$ [sudo] pip install mac-localized

```

#### How it works

```

Release Notes.localized/

    .localized/

        en.strings

        de.strings

        ja.strings

```

`.strings`:

```

"Release Notes" = "Localized name";

```

#### Examples

```python

>>> import mac_localized

>>> mac_localized.mkdir("folder",ru="ru translation",de="de translation")

'folder.localized'

>>> mac_localized.load("folder")

{'ru':'ru translation','de':'de translation'}

>>> mac_localized.update("folder",ru="new ru translation",de="new de translation")

>>> mac_localized.get("folder","ru")

'new ru translation'

>>> mac_localized.rm("folder",["ru"])

>>> mac_localized.rm("folder")  # rm all localizations

```
