A new Flutter application.

Adding a new string

Strings are managed directly from our Lokalise(url?) project. Keys should be valid Dart variable names in lowerCamelCase. After adding a new key and providing/obtaining translations for it, follow the next step to update your local copy.

Updating translations

Only Open Privacy staff members can update translations automatically:

flutter pub run flutter_lokalise download -v --api-token "<X>" --project-id "<Y>"

This will download a bundle of translations from Lokalise and convert it to resource files in lib/l10n/intl_*.arb. The next time Flwtch is built, Flutter will notice the changes and update app_localizations.dart accordingly (thanks to generate:true in pubspec.yaml).

Using a string

Any widget underneath the main MaterialApp should be able to:

import 'package:flutter_gen/gen_l10n/app_localizations.dart';

and then use:

Text(AppLocalizations.of(context).stringIdentifer),

Configuration

API tokens are only available to Open Privacy staff at this time, who will perform the translation updates for you as part of merging your PRs.

With generate: true in pubspec.yaml, the Flutter build process checks l10n.yaml for input/output filenames.
