Why would I use pseudo localization?

It's one of the fastest ways to test if your app can be localized (without going through the pain of full localization).

What's pseudo-localized text look like?

Here's a some text This ends with a string place-holder %s pseudo-localized Ţĥîîîš éééñðš ŵîîîţĥ ààà šţŕîîîñĝ þļàààçééé-ĥôôôļðéééŕ %s.
