SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Extracting user-facing strings from Flutter source code into ARB locale files to support localization and reduce manual editing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Incremental extraction: only new or changed strings are added to ARB files.
  • Consistency: preserves existing keys and aligns with AppLocalizations integration.
  • Use Case: migrating to AppLocalizations or updating translations as the app evolves.

Quick Start

Run the extraction to update ARB files from your Flutter project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract strings from Flutter source code into ARB files for localization?

Flutter string extraction automates pulling user-facing text from your source code into ARB locale files. It incrementally adds only new or changed strings, reducing manual editing during app localization.

Can I update ARB files incrementally when adding new strings to my Flutter app?

Yes, incremental extraction ensures only new or changed strings are added to your ARB files. This preserves existing keys and maintains synchronization with your l10n.yaml configuration across all locales.

Does this string extraction method preserve existing AppLocalizations keys?

Yes, the extraction process ensures consistency by preserving existing ARB keys while aligning with AppLocalizations integration. It prevents overwriting current translations when synchronizing newly extracted strings across locales.

What is the best way to migrate a Flutter app to AppLocalizations using ARB files?

Migrating to AppLocalizations is streamlined by automatically extracting user-facing strings into ARB files. This generates necessary keys and synchronizes updates across locales, supporting a smooth transition.

How does ARB file synchronization work across multiple locales in Flutter?

ARB synchronization updates locale files by applying extracted strings consistently across all configured languages. It aligns updates with your l10n.yaml settings to maintain translation consistency throughout the project.

Do I need to manually edit l10n.yaml when extracting new Flutter strings?

No, the extraction process automatically handles synchronization with l10n.yaml. It updates ARB files and generates keys without requiring manual configuration edits, ensuring your localization workflow remains consistent.
