SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

All user-facing strings must be localized to prevent hardcoded text in Flutter apps, reducing localization debt and UI inconsistencies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces the use of AppLocalizations for UI strings.
  • Provides guidance for adding and syncing ARB keys and translations across languages.
  • Includes a quick workflow: when code changes introduce new strings, add keys to ARB and run flutter gen-l10n to regenerate AppLocalizations.

Quick Start

Add your new string to the default ARB (app_en.arb) and run flutter gen-l10n to update AppLocalizations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I localize hardcoded strings in Flutter using ARB files?

To localize hardcoded strings in Flutter, you add new keys to your default ARB file (app_en.arb) and run flutter gen-l10n to regenerate AppLocalizations. This enforces the use of AppLocalizations for UI strings, eliminating localization debt.

What is the best way to sync ARB translations across multiple languages in Flutter?

The best way to sync ARB translations across multiple languages is to add new strings to your default ARB file and run flutter gen-l10n. This regenerates localization assets and ensures all user-facing text remains synced across languages.

Why do I need to run flutter gen-l10n after adding new strings to ARB files?

You need to run flutter gen-l10n after adding new strings to ARB files to regenerate AppLocalizations. This updates the localization assets so your newly added keys are available for use in the UI.

Does AppLocalizations work with flutter gen-l10n for preventing hardcoded text?

Yes, AppLocalizations works directly with the flutter gen-l10n workflow to prevent hardcoded text. It enforces the use of localized strings by generating the necessary classes from your ARB file translations.

Can I update ARB keys and translations across languages for any size Flutter project?

Yes, you can update ARB keys and translations across languages for Flutter projects of any size. The workflow applies universally to add new strings and regenerate AppLocalizations, reducing UI inconsistencies.
