Description

If there is a file like Localizable.strings localized only for a single language (one folder en.lproj):

xcodegen doesn't pick this up correctly. After generating the xcode project, the file is not localized and thus not picked up at runtime:

If I add a second language just as a placeholder, it is picked up correctly:

Research direction

Reproduce generation with a Localizable.strings file containing only one en.lproj folder, then compare the generated project with the behavior when a second language is present. Trace the project-generation path that classifies localized resources; done means the single-language file is marked localized and is picked up at runtime.
