Extractor Localizable Strings is a open source plug-in for Xcode.
It lets you extract localizable strings without opening the .strings file.
When you select a string you can easily extract to all Localizable.strings file without opening it.
This plugin will also notify if you try to add same key again.
If you try to add a same string again, this plugin will ask you to create a new key for that string or use existing one.

##Xcode version?
From Xcode 5, Apple added a UUID-verification to all plugins to ensure the stability when Xcode gets updated. The value of DVTPlugInCompatibilityUUIDs in project plist should contains current UUID of Xcode version, or the plugin does not work. And from Xcode 6.3, you will be prompt to "Load third party bundle" if you are using a plugin. You should always select "Load bundles" to enable this plugin. If you happened to skip the bundle loading, you can use this to reset the prompt:
defaults delete com.apple.dt.Xcode DVTPlugInManagerNonApplePlugIns-Xcode-{your_xcode_version}
To get the UUID, execute in console:
defaults read /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Info DVTPlugInCompatibilityUUID
Pull request with the new DVTPlugInCompatibilityUUIDs is welcome
