CometChat iOS UI Kit v5.0.0: Comprehensive Localization Enhancement

We are excited to announce the release of CometChat iOS UI Kit v5.0.0, packed with powerful localization features designed to help you create seamless chat experiences for a global audience.

This expansion enables your applications to reach more users in their native languages without requiring custom implementation, reducing the need for developers to build and maintain their own translation systems.

• Component-specific datetime format props for precise control

• Simplified API for managing date formats across the application

This ensures that date and time information appears properly formatted according to each user's locale, enhancing the natural feel of your chat interface. For developers, this means significantly less custom code to handle date formatting across different regions and a more consistent experience for your global user base.

These improvements create a more maintainable codebase by standardizing how localization is handled throughout your application, making future updates and customizations much easier to implement.
