Flutter localisation not working when adding a new language - flutter

I'm trying to write my simple flutter app for adding localisation for new language name "Hmong" with language code "hmn".
I've written some file of code there as described in docs. But, not working for me,
main.dart file code,
localizationsDelegates: [
Translations.delegate,
TranslationsHMNDelegate (),
GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate,
GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate,
GlobalCupertinoLocalizations.delegate,
],
locale: value.appLocale,
supportedLocales: [Locale('en'), Locale('hmn')],
Delegate file code,
class TranslationsHMNDelegate extends LocalizationsDelegate<Translations> {
#override
bool isSupported(Locale locale) {
return locale.languageCode == "hmn";
}
#override
Future<Translations> load(Locale locale) async {
return HmnTranslations ();
}
#override
bool shouldReload(dynamic old) {
return false;
}
}
class HmnTranslations extends Translations{
// added hmn translations with 137 overridden methods here
}
Translations file code,
class Translations {
const Translations();
static Translations? current;
static Translations? of(BuildContext context) {
return Localizations.of<Translations>(context, Translations);
}
static const LocalizationsDelegate<Translations> delegate =
_TranslationsDelegate();
// Other english translations added here.
}
class _TranslationsDelegate extends LocalizationsDelegate<Translations> {
const _TranslationsDelegate();
#override
bool isSupported(Locale locale) {
return ['en', 'hmn'].contains(locale.languageCode);
}
#override
Future<Translations> load(Locale locale) async {
if (locale.languageCode.toLowerCase() == 'hmn') {
Translations.current = HmnTranslations();
return SynchronousFuture<Translations>(
Translations.current ?? const Translations());
}
Translations.current = const Translations();
return SynchronousFuture<Translations>(
Translations.current ?? const Translations());
}
#override
bool shouldReload(_TranslationsDelegate old) => false;
}
But, this is not working for me. I'm getting errors like following,
======== Exception caught by widgets ===============================================================
The following message was thrown:
This application's locale, hmn, is not supported by all of its localization delegates.
• A MaterialLocalizations delegate that supports the hmn locale was not found.
• A CupertinoLocalizations delegate that supports the hmn locale was not found.
The declared supported locales for this app are: en, hmn
So can anyone please help me with this? Thank you.

How can I set localization in flutter custom library?

I've created some lib in my project. There are a lot of words and phrases, so I must translate everything.
I set the app's language using bloc but I don't know how to use it in my custom library.
I think I should use something related to context. I don't know at all.
Help me, please.
It's my class for localizations.
import 'dart:convert';
import 'dart:ui';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart' show rootBundle;
import 'constants/constants.dart';
class AppLocalizations {
Locale locale;
AppLocalizations(this.locale);
/// Helper method to keep the code in the widgets concise
/// Localizations are accessed using an InheritedWidget "of" syntax
static AppLocalizations of(BuildContext context) {
return Localizations.of(context, AppLocalizations);
}
/// Static member to have a simple access to the delegate from the MaterialApp
static const LocalizationsDelegate<AppLocalizations> delegate =
_AppLocalizationsDelegate();
late Map<String, String> _localizedStrings;
Future<bool> load() async {
String jsonString =
await rootBundle.loadString('assets/langs/${locale.languageCode}.json');
Map<String, dynamic> jsonMap = json.decode(jsonString);
_localizedStrings = jsonMap.map((key, value) {
return MapEntry(key, value.toString());
});
return true;
}
String? translate(String key) {
return _localizedStrings[key];
}
}
class _AppLocalizationsDelegate
extends LocalizationsDelegate<AppLocalizations> {
const _AppLocalizationsDelegate();
// add all languages code here
#override
bool isSupported(Locale locale) {
return LanguageKeys.LANGUAGE_KEYS_LIST.contains(locale.languageCode);
}
// load all localization files
#override
Future<AppLocalizations> load(Locale locale) async {
AppLocalizations localizations = new AppLocalizations(locale);
await localizations.load();
return localizations;
}
#override
bool shouldReload(LocalizationsDelegate<AppLocalizations> old) => false;
}
I don't know much about bloc pattern since I have always used provider.
But the basic step would be:
(1) Inject the AppLocalizations class localization into material app
MaterialApp(
supportedLocales: [
Locale('en'),
Locale('es'),
],
localizationsDelegates: [
AppLocalizations.delegate,
GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate,
GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate,
],
localeResolutionCallback: (locale, supportedLocales) {
for (var supportedLocale in supportedLocales) {
if (supportedLocale.languageCode == locale.languageCode &&
supportedLocale.countryCode == locale.countryCode) {
return supportedLocale;
}
}
return supportedLocales.first;
},
locale: Locale('en'), // translate to this language
.......
);
(2) For any translation pass the key to Applocalization
AppLocalizations.of(context).translate("understood")
You can change translate method in AppLocalizations class
(3) If you want to change app locale/lang add your stateful variable to locale key in Material App and put the Consumer above MaterialApp itself.
ChangeNotifierProvider<LangSettingsProvider>(
create: (_) => LangSettingsProvider(),
child: Consumer<LangSettingsProvider>(
builder: (context, lang, _) {
return MaterialApp(
locale : lang.appLocal
....
(4) Include assets inside assets folder and specify in the pubspec yml file
assets:
- assets/icon/
- assets/lang/en.json
- assets/lang/es.json
(5) Sample of the json key value pair
//en.json
"understood":"Understood",
//es.json
"understood":"Entendido",

Flutter Localization with ARB - The getter was called on null

I've been having this error for a while and I think I need some second eyes of an expert to solve it and I'm really new in this language ^^.
I added localizable to my project in Flutter, added all the files.arb in different languages and tries to import it following Google's tutorial and other just different work around but keep getting the same error:
════════ Exception caught by widgets library ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The following NoSuchMethodError was thrown building StyleguideScreen(dirty):
The getter 'welcomeGeneralInfoTitle' was called on null.
Receiver: null
Tried calling: welcomeGeneralInfoTitle
This is my AppLocalizations.dart class I'm using for the localicationDelegates
class AppLocalizations {
static const AppLocalizationsDelegate delegate = AppLocalizationsDelegate();
static Future<AppLocalizations> load(Locale locale) {
final String name = locale.countryCode.isEmpty ? locale.languageCode : locale.toString();
final String localeName = Intl.canonicalizedLocale(name);
return initializeMessages(localeName).then((_) {
Intl.defaultLocale = localeName;
return AppLocalizations();
});
}
static AppLocalizations of(BuildContext context) {
return Localizations.of<AppLocalizations>(context, AppLocalizations);
}
String get welcomeGeneralInfoTitle {
return Intl.message('Bet Master', name: 'title', desc: 'App Title');
}
}
class AppLocalizationsDelegate extends LocalizationsDelegate<AppLocalizations> {
const AppLocalizationsDelegate();
List<Locale> get supportedLocales {
return const <Locale>[
Locale('en', ''),
Locale('de', ''),
Locale('es', ''),
Locale('es', 'ES'),
]; //Still need to add 18 languages, is there a better way to add them?
}
#override
bool isSupported(Locale locale) => _isSupported(locale);
#override
Future<AppLocalizations> load(Locale locale) => AppLocalizations.load(locale);
#override
bool shouldReload(AppLocalizationsDelegate old) => false;
bool _isSupported(Locale locale) {
if (locale != null) {
for (Locale supportedLocale in supportedLocales) {
if (supportedLocale.languageCode == locale.languageCode) {
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}
}
and here is where I added to the root of the project
return MaterialApp(
localizationsDelegates: [
AppLocalizations.delegate,
GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate,
GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate,
],
supportedLocales: AppLocalizations.delegate.supportedLocales,
title: 'AMP',
theme: Theme.darkTheme,
home: StyleguideScreen(),
);
And here is how I try to implement it and it crashes
class StyleguideScreen extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final welcome = AppStrings.current.welcomeGeneralInfoTitle;
return Scaffold(...)
}
}
The app generates correctly all the generated files per language that it needs to import and I think it looks pretty straight forward, when I debug it, it is getting the locale correctly. Has anyone any idea why could this be happening? Thanks in advance :pray:
FIX: I just needed to add into the localizationsDelegates the auto-generated AppStrings.delegate, from the file import 'generated/l10n.dart'; instead of creating a new AppLocalizations.delegate.
like this:
localizationsDelegates: [
GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate,
GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate,
GlobalCupertinoLocalizations.delegate,
AppStrings.delegate,
],
and remove completely the AppLocationzations class I did and it works smooth! :)
PD: I add this new library flutter_localized_locales
I use Android Studio Flutter with Intl plugin and the problem was the same
In main.dart add import import 'generated/l10n.dart';
Also add S.delegate in list of localizationsDelegates
localizationsDelegates: [
GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate,
GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate,
GlobalCupertinoLocalizations.delegate,
S.delegate,
],

Flutter - Using GetIt with BuildContext

I'm using Localizations in my app based on the flutter documentation.
See here: https://flutter.dev/docs/development/accessibility-and-localization/internationalization
I use get_it package (version 4.0.4) to retrieve singleton objects like the Localization delegate. Unfortunately it needs a BuildContext property. Sometimes in my app I don't have the context reference so it would be nice if it would work like this: GetIt.I<AppLocalizations>() instead of this: AppLocalizations.of(context). It still can be achieved without a problem if you setup get_it like this: GetIt.I.registerLazySingleton(() => AppLocalizations.of(context)); The problem is that you need the context at least once to make it work. Moreover if you would like to display a localized text instantly in your initial route it's more difficult to get a properly initialized BuildContext at a time when you need it.
It's a little hard for me to explain it properly so I recreated the issue in a minimal example.
I commented out some code that would cause compile time errors, but it shows how I imagined it to be done.
main.dart
GetIt getIt = GetIt.instance;
void setupGetIt() {
// How to get BuildContext properly if no context is available yet?
// Compile time error.
// getIt.registerLazySingleton(() => AppLocalizations.of(context));
}
void main() {
setupGetIt();
runApp(MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
MyApp({Key key}) : super(key: key);
#override
_MyAppState createState() => _MyAppState();
}
class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
// The above line also won't work. It has BuildContext but Applocalizations.of(context) won't work
// because it's above in the Widget tree and not yet setted up.
getIt.registerLazySingleton(() => AppLocalizations.of(context));
return MaterialApp(
supportedLocales: const [
Locale('en', 'US'),
Locale('hu', 'HU'),
],
localizationsDelegates: const [
AppLocalizations.delegate,
GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate,
GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate,
GlobalCupertinoLocalizations.delegate,
],
localeResolutionCallback: (locale, supportedLocales) {
// check if locale is supported
for (final supportedLocale in supportedLocales) {
if (supportedLocale.languageCode == locale?.languageCode &&
supportedLocale.countryCode == locale?.countryCode) {
return supportedLocale;
}
}
// if locale is not supported then return the first (default) one
return supportedLocales.first;
},
// You may pass the BuildContext here for Page1 in it's constructor
// but in a more advanced routing case it's not a maintanable solution.
home: Page1(),
);
}
}
Initial route
class PageBase extends StatelessWidget {
final String title;
final Widget content;
PageBase(this.title, this.content);
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text(title),
),
body: content,
);
}
}
class Page1 extends PageBase {
// It won't run because I need the context but clearly I don't have it.
// And in a real app you also don't want to pass the context all over the place
if you have many routes to manage.
Page1(String title)
: super(AppLocalizations.of(context).title, Center(child: Text('Hello')));
// Intended solution
// I don't know how to properly initialize getIt AppLocalizations singleton by the time
// it tries to retrieve it
Page1.withGetIt(String title)
: super(getIt<AppLocalizations>().title, Center(child: Text('Hello')));
}
locales.dart
String globalLocaleName;
class AppLocalizations {
//AppLocalizations(this.localeName);
static AppLocalizations of(BuildContext context) {
return Localizations.of<AppLocalizations>(context, AppLocalizations);
}
static const LocalizationsDelegate<AppLocalizations> delegate =
_AppLocalizationsDelegate();
static Future<AppLocalizations> load(Locale locale) async {
final String name =
locale.countryCode.isEmpty ? locale.languageCode : locale.toString();
final String localeName = Intl.canonicalizedLocale(name);
return initializeMessages(localeName).then((_) {
globalLocaleName = localeName;
return AppLocalizations();
});
}
String get title => Intl.message(
'This is the title.',
name: 'title',
);
}
class _AppLocalizationsDelegate
extends LocalizationsDelegate<AppLocalizations> {
// This delegate instance will never change (it doesn't even have fields!)
// It can provide a constant constructor.
const _AppLocalizationsDelegate();
#override
bool isSupported(Locale locale) {
return ['en', 'hu'].contains(locale.languageCode);
}
#override
Future<AppLocalizations> load(Locale locale) => AppLocalizations.load(locale);
#override
bool shouldReload(_AppLocalizationsDelegate old) => false;
}
And some intl generated dart code and .arb files that is not so important to illustrate the problem.
So all in all, how can I achive to use my AppLocalizations class as a singleton without using a context for example in a situation like this? Maybe my initial approach is bad and it can be done in other ways that I represented. Please let me know if you have a solution.
Thank you.
To achieve what you have described you need to first make the navigation service using get_it. Follow these steps to achieve the result :
1. Create a navigation service
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class NavigationService {
final GlobalKey<NavigatorState> navigatorKey =
new GlobalKey<NavigatorState>();
Future<dynamic> navigateTo(String routeName) {
return navigatorKey.currentState!
.push(routeName);
}
goBack() {
return navigatorKey.currentState!.pop();
}
}
This allows you to navigate anywhere from any point throughout the app without build context. This navigator key is what you can use to achieve the AppLocalization instance for the current context.
Refer to the FilledStacks tutorials for this method of navigating without build context.
https://www.filledstacks.com/post/navigate-without-build-context-in-flutter-using-a-navigation-service/
2. Register
GetIt locator = GetIt.instance;
void setupLocator() {
...
locator.registerLazySingleton(() => NavigationService());
...
}
3. Assign the navigator key in the material app
return MaterialApp(
...
navigatorKey: navigationService.navigatorKey,
...
),
3. Create an instance for the AppLocalizations and import it wherever you want to use
localeInstance() => AppLocalizations.of(locator<NavigationService>().navigatorKey.currentContext!)!;
3. The actual use case
import 'package:{your_app_name}/{location_to_this_instace}/{file_name}.dart';
localeInstance().your_localization_variable
You can add a builder to your MaterialApp and setup the service locator inside it with the context available. Example:
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
builder: (context, widget) {
setUpServiceLocator(context);
return FutureBuilder(
future: getIt.allReady(),
builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot snapshot) {
if (snapshot.hasData) {
return widget;
} else {
return Container(color: Colors.white);
}
});
},
);
}
Service Locator Setup:
void setUpServiceLocator(BuildContext context) {
getIt.registerSingleton<AppLocalizations>(AppLocalizations.of(context));
}
You could use some non-localizable splash screen with FutureBuilder and getIt.allReady().
Something like:
class SplashScreen extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return FutureBuilder<void>(
future: getIt.allReady(),
builder: (context, snapshot) {
if (snapshot.hasData) {
// Navigate to main page (with replace)
} else if (snapshot.hasError) {
// Error handling
} else {
// Some pretty loading indicator
}
},
);
}
I'd like to recommend the injectable package for dealing with get_it also.

Flutter: Application's locale is not supported by all of its localization delegates

Hello I am trying add BottomNavigationBar in flutter app but when i run project error occures :
A MaterialLocalizations delegate that supports the ka_GE locale was not found
This is my app delegates:
supportedLocales: [
const Locale('en', 'US'),
const Locale('ka', 'GE'),
const Locale('ru', 'RU'),
],
localizationsDelegates: [
const InfosLocalizationsDelegate(),
GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate,
GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate
],
locale: Locale('ka')
This is Custom LocalizationsDelegate:
class CLocalizationsDelegate
extends LocalizationsDelegate<CLocalizations> {
const CLocalizationsDelegate();
#override
bool isSupported(Locale locale) =>
['en', 'ka', 'ru'].contains(locale.languageCode);
#override
Future<CLocalizations> load(Locale locale) async {
CLocalizations localizations = new CLocalizations(locale);
await localizations.load();
print("Load ${locale.languageCode}");
return localizations;
}
#override
bool shouldReload(CLocalizationsDelegate old) => false;
}
Yeah I know that the problem is 'ka' because MaterialLocalizations doesn't not supports it but I have to solve that problem, so guys can you help me out?
Addig GlobalCupertinoLocalizations too to the localizationsDelegates also saves the problem.
localizationsDelegates: const [
GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate,
GlobalCupertinoLocalizations.delegate,
GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate,
],
You can implement your custom MaterialLocalizations delegate
class MaterialLocalizationKaDelegate extends LocalizationsDelegate<MaterialLocalizations> {
#override
bool isSupported(Locale locale) {
return locale.countryCode == "GE" && locale.languageCode == "ka";
}
#override
Future<MaterialLocalizations> load(Locale locale) async {
return MaterialLocalizationKa();
}
#override
bool shouldReload(Foo old) {
return false;
}
}
class MaterialLocalizationKa extends MaterialLocalizations {
// TODO: implement KA localization yourself
}

Flutter: Multi-lingual application - how to override the locale?

I followed the explanations given in the official Flutter pages (see here) to make my application work in different languages.
According to the documentation, it retrieves the user's locale and this works fine.
Let's now suppose that my application supports different languages (such as EN, FR, ES, ...) and that the user could select one of these languages to use the application (the selected language would then be different than the one defined in the phone's settings), how can I achieve this?
How may I force the application Locale and dynamically "reload" all the translations?
The Flutter page does not explain this and I haven't seen anything that help me in the documentation...
Here is the current implementation:
class Translations {
Translations(this.locale);
final Locale locale;
static Translations of(BuildContext context){
return Localizations.of<Translations>(context, Translations);
}
static Map<String, Map<String, String>> _localizedValues = {
'en': {
'title': 'Hello',
},
'fr': {
'title': 'Bonjour',
},
'es': {
'title': 'Hola',
}
};
String text(String key){
return _localizedValues[locale.languageCode][key] ?? '** ${key} not found';
}
}
class TranslationsDelegate extends LocalizationsDelegate<Translations> {
const TranslationsDelegate();
#override
bool isSupported(Locale locale) => ['en', 'fr','es'].contains(locale.languageCode);
#override
Future<Translations> load(Locale locale) {
return new SynchronousFuture<Translations>(new Translations(locale));
}
#override
bool shouldReload(TranslationsDelegate old) => false;
}
In the main.dart:
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new MaterialApp(
title: Translations.of(context).text('title'),
theme: new ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
),
localizationsDelegates: [
const TranslationsDelegate(),
GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate,
GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate,
],
supportedLocales: [
const Locale('en', ''), // English
const Locale('fr', ''), // French
const Locale('fr', ''), // French
],
home: new LandingPage(),
);
}
}
Many thanks for your help.
This can be accomplished by
creating a new LocalizationsDelegate that either translates to a
single locale or defers completely depending on a parameter
converting the base app (MyApp) to a stateful widget and inserting the new delegate above into the localizationsDelegates list
managing the base app (MyApp) state with a new delegate targeting a specific locale based on some event
A simple implementation for 1) might be:
class SpecifiedLocalizationDelegate
extends LocalizationsDelegate<Translations> {
final Locale overriddenLocale;
const SpecifiedLocalizationDelegate(this.overriddenLocale);
#override
bool isSupported(Locale locale) => overriddenLocale != null;
#override
Future<Translations> load(Locale locale) =>
Translations.load(overriddenLocale);
#override
bool shouldReload(SpecifiedLocalizationDelegate old) => true;
}
Next for 2) and 3), convert the MyApp to stateful and include the new delegate (initially just deferring everything), plus some event handlers to change the state with a new delegate that specifies a new Locale.
class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
#override
_MyAppState createState() => new _MyAppState();
}
class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
SpecifiedLocalizationDelegate _localeOverrideDelegate;
#override
void initState() {
super.initState();
_localeOverrideDelegate = new SpecifiedLocalizationDelegate(null);
}
onLocaleChange(Locale l) {
setState(() {
_localeOverrideDelegate = new SpecifiedLocalizationDelegate(l);
});
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new MaterialApp(
localizationsDelegates: [
_localeOverrideDelegate,
const TranslationsDelegate(),
GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate,
GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate,
],
supportedLocales: [
const Locale('en', ''), // English
const Locale('fr', ''), // French
],
home: new LandingPage(onLocaleSwitch: onLocaleChange),
);
}
}
With these changes, in children widgets you could now use Translations.of(context).myLocalizedString to retrieve the translations.
More complete gist: https://gist.github.com/ilikerobots/474b414138f3f99150dbb3d0cc4cc721
To control the locale of the app, you can use the locale property of the MaterialApp:
return MaterialApp(
...
locale: _myLocal,
...
);
This, combined with #ilikerobots StatefulWidget approach shall provide you with what you need.
using one of the Providers should do the job, I am not really familiar with providers but this got me working easily
wrap your material app using ChangeNotifierProvider
return ChangeNotifierProvider(
create: (_) => new LocaleModel(),
child: Consumer<LocaleModel>(
builder: (context, provider, child) => MaterialApp(
title: 'myapp',
locale: Provider.of<LocaleModel>(context).locale
...
...
...
create A model class with getters and setters to get & set the locale as\
import 'package:iborganic/const/page_exports.dart';
class LocaleModel with ChangeNotifier {
Locale locale = Locale('en');
Locale get getlocale => locale;
void changelocale(Locale l) {
locale = l;
notifyListeners();
}
}
Change the locale on some event (button click) as
Provider.of<LocaleModel>(context).changelocale(Locale("kn"));
The benefit of wrapping the material app within Provider is you can have access to the locale value from any part of your app
The easiest way, which weirdly enough is not mentioned in the internationalization tutorial, is using the locale property. This property of the MaterialApp class allows us to immediately specify what locale we want our app to use
return MaterialApp(
locale: Locale('ar', ''),
localizationsDelegates: [
MyLocalizationsDelegate,
GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate,
GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate,
],
supportedLocales: [
const Locale('en', ''), // English
const Locale('ar', ''), // Arabic
],
home: HomeScreen()
);
This tutorial explained it better
It also explained how to load the locale preference from sharedPreferences
