Summary:
Exporting my project for localization  (Editor->Export For Localization...) fails producing a dialog stating "Localization failed to read a strings file. Please check the system log for more details."

The following entry was in the system log:

Error message: May 21 09:15:15 Richs-MacBook-Pro.local Xcode[93966]: [MT] DVTAssertions: Warning in /SourceCache/IDEFrameworks/IDEFrameworks-7718/IDEFoundation/Localization/IDELocalizationWork.m:434
Details:  Failed to read strings file "/Users/richbruchal/devworld/projects/thermos/code/Thermos/Thermos/ViewControllers/InitialSetup/Pages/HydrationVCs/HydrationSetupGoalUpdatedVC/fr-CA.lproj/HydrationSetupGoalUpdatedFooterView.strings", underlying error:
The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format.

Thread:   <NSThread: 0x7fa5fb8344e0>{number = 1, name = main}
Please file a bug at http://bugreport.apple.com with this warning message and any useful information you can provide.

The file in question, "HydrationSetupGoalUpdatedFooterView.strings", has no data in it; its size is 0 bytes. This is correct as there are currently no localizable strings in the xib.

Steps to Reproduce:


Expected Results:
Expected Xcode to output a translation file

Actual Results:
Error message

Version:
Xcode 6.3.2
The xib files in question were created in a previous version, probably Xcode 6.3.1

Notes:
I'm not sure why those .strings files were blank. Other files with no strings have /* No Localized Strings */ in them. If I manually update my .strings files to include that text, the export works.
