localize_and_translate

localization and translation was never easier, simple way to translate your flutter apps and make it international

Methods

Method	Job
currentLanguage	active language code
locale	active Locale
init()	initialize things, before runApp()
translate('word')	word translation
setNewLanguage(context,'en',restart: true, remember: true,)	change language
locals()	locales list
isDirectionRTL()	is Direction RTL check

How To Use

1. add localize_and_translate: any as dependencies in pubspec.yaml
2. run flutter pub get into app folder
3. add .json translation files as assets

• For example : 'assets/langs/ar.json' | 'assets/langs/en.json'
• structure should look like

{
  "appTitle" : "Example",
  "textArea" : "Thisi is just a test text",
}

{
  "appTitle" : "تجربة",
  "textArea" : "هذا مجرد نموذج للتأكد من اداء الاداة",
}

• define them as assets into pubspec.yaml

flutter:
  assets:

    - assets/langs/en.json
    - assets/langs/ar.json

• run flutter pub get

4. add imports to main.dart

import 'package:flutter/cupertino.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:localize_and_translate/localize_and_translate.dart';
import 'package:flutter_localizations/flutter_localizations.dart';`

5. wrap app entry into LocalizedApp() ** make sure you define it's child into different place "NOT INSIDE" **

  runApp(
    LocalizedApp(
      child: MyApp(),
    ),
  );

6. convert your main() method to async, we will need next

Future<void> main() async {
  runApp(
    LocalizedApp(
      child: MyApp(),
    ),
  );
}

7. add WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized(); at very first of main()
8. inside main() define: Languages + Root dir, then call await translator.init();

• so now your main() should look like this

Future<void> main() async {
  // if your flutter > 1.7.8 :  ensure flutter activated
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

  LIST_OF_LANGS = ['ar', 'en']; // define languages
  LANGS_DIR = 'assets/langs/'; // define directory
  await translator.init(); // intialize

  runApp(
    LocalizedApp(
      child: MyApp(),
    ),
  );
}

11. define your LocalizedApp() child as MaterialApp() like this

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyAppState createState() => _MyAppState();
}

class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Home(), // re Route
      localizationsDelegates: [ // Android + iOS Delegates 
        GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate,
        GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate,
        GlobalCupertinoLocalizations.delegate,
        DefaultCupertinoLocalizations.delegate,
      ],
      locale: translator.locale, // active locale
      supportedLocales: translator.locals(), // locals list
    );
  }
}

12. Enjoy

• we use translate(word)
• setNewLanguage(languageCode) : and it's parameters

class Home extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _HomeState createState() => _HomeState();
}

class _HomeState extends State<Home> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      drawer: Drawer(),
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text(translator.translate('appTitle')),
        // centerTitle: true,
      ),
      body: Container(
        width: double.infinity,
        child: Column(
          crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,
          children: <Widget>[
            SizedBox(height: 50),
            Text(
              translator.translate('textArea'), // Translation
              style: TextStyle(fontSize: 35),
            ),
            SizedBox(height: 150),
            OutlineButton(
              onPressed: () { // setNewLanguage 'ar'
                translator.setNewLanguage(
                  context,
                  newLanguage: 'ar',
                  remember: true,
                  restart: true,
                );
              },
              child: Text('العربية'),
            ),
            OutlineButton(
              onPressed: () { // setNewLanguage 'en'
                translator.setNewLanguage(
                  context,
                  newLanguage: 'en',
                  remember: true,
                  restart: true,
                );
              },
              child: Text('English'),
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
