Research direction

Investigate how strings are currently handled in the Secretive app. The app likely uses NSLocalizedString for user facing text. Create a default English .strings file and possibly a .stringsdict for plurals. Look at the project structure to determine where to place localization files. Check the two existing comments for any hints about progress or desired languages. Start by extracting all hardcoded strings from the codebase and replacing them with NSLocalizedString calls. Then add localization support (e.g., Japanese) by creating a localization folder and adding translated strings.
