Flutter Localization

Flutter Localization is a package use for in-app localization with Map data. Easier and faster to implement. This package is inspired by the Flutter SDK flutter_localizations itself. Follow the step below to use the package, or you can check out a small example project of the package.

How To Use

Prepare language source (Map<String, dynamic>)

Create a dart file which will contain all the Map data of the locale language your app need. You can change the file name, class name, and file path whatever you like. Example:

mixin AppLocale {
  static const String title = 'title';

  static const Map<String, dynamic> EN = {title: 'Localization'};
  static const Map<String, dynamic> KM = {title: 'ការធ្វើមូលដ្ឋានីយកម្ម'};
  static const Map<String, dynamic> JA = {title: 'ローカリゼーション'};
}

Project configuration

Initialize the FlutterLocalization object (this can be local or global, up to you)

final FlutterLocalization localization = FlutterLocalization.instance;

Init the list of MapLocale and startup language for the app. This has to be done only at the main.dart or the MaterialApp in your project.

@override
void initState() {
    localization.init(
        mapLocales: [
            const MapLocale('en', AppLocale.EN),
            const MapLocale('km', AppLocale.KM),
            const MapLocale('ja', AppLocale.JA),
        ],
        initLanguageCode: 'en',
    );
    localization.onTranslatedLanguage = _onTranslatedLanguage;
    super.initState();
}

// the setState function here is a must to add
void _onTranslatedLanguage(Locale? locale) {
    setState(() {});
}

Add supportedLocales and localizationsDelegates to the MaterialApp

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
        supportedLocales: localization.supportedLocales,
        localizationsDelegates: localization.localizationsDelegates,
        home: const SettingsScreen(),
    );
}

Call the translate function anytime you want to translate the app and provide it with the language code

ElevatedButton(
    child: const Text('English'),
    onPressed: () {
        localization.translate('en');
    },
);

To display the value from the Map data, just use the getString extension by providing the context (the AppLocale.title is the constant from mixin class above)

AppLocale.title.getString(context);

Extras

You also can get the language name too. If you don't specify the language code for the function, it will return the language name depend on the current app locale

localization.getLanguageName(languageCode: 'en');  // English
localization.getLanguageName(languageCode: 'km');  // ភាសាខ្មែរ
localization.getLanguageName(languageCode: 'ja');  // 日本語

localization.getLanguageName();  // get language name depend on current app locale

If you need to use locale identifier in some case, you can get it from the current locale. The identifier format is [languageCode]_[countryCode] (en_US). But if you don't provide the country code in MapLocale this will return only languageCode.

localization.currentLocale.localeIdentifier;

Some update note

Version 0.1.11

You can provide the font family in the MapLocale model at the init() function that can be from Assets or GoogleFonts package.

// font family from asset
MapLocale('en', AppLocale.EN, fontFamily: 'MuseoSans');

// or from GoogleFonts package
MapLocale('en', AppLocale.EN, fontFamily: GoogleFonts.lato().fontFamily);

Lastly, provide the font family to the MaterialApp's ThemeData

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
        supportedLocales: localization.supportedLocales,
        localizationsDelegates: localization.localizationsDelegates,
        home: const SettingsScreen(),
        theme: ThemeData(fontFamily: localization.fontFamily),
    );
}

Version 0.1.13

Added Strings Util and Context Extension for helping with localization text that are dynamic base on language. Check the usage below or the example here.

As for Strings Util, it just formats string normally from the list of arguments to the full text string.

Strings.format('Hello %a, this is me %a.', ['Dara', 'Sopheak']);
// Result: Hello Dara, this is me Sopheak.

As for Context Extension, the full text and arguments you provide, will use to check and get data from the string source. If the result is null, it will return the key that use to get the resource string.

context.formatString('This is %a package, version %a.', [AppLocale.title, 'LATEST'])
// Result: This is Localization package, version LATEST.
