I am developing a language app and my question is related to this. In this app, I can show the words from the local database that contain foreign characters in the app. Yet, when the users want to add a new word in a foreign language, the app does not recognize the foreign characters.
How can I make users add Turkish characters (or any other characters than English) in TextField in flutter? I am pretty new to developing apps. Any helpful answers would be really appreciated. I really thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
You don't need to recognize for the language in TextField, Because the TextField can have any data in any language, You just have to change your own keyboard language to the language you want and you can start typing into that language like any other language.
To allow users to input Turkish characters or anyother character in Flutter, you will need to configure the TextField's inputFormatters property.
Use this code, it might help you:
TextField(
inputFormatters: [
WhitelistingTextInputFormatter(RegExp("[a-zA-ZığüşöçİĞÜŞÖÇ ]"))
],
)
It has the regex for Turkish and you can tweak this accordingly.

I want to present my app in Arabic RTL language when user clicks on the Arabic in the language selector inside the app(default language is English). I have referred lot things, still I am unable to get perfect output. Anyone, please suggest me an best way to do this.
I'm writing some apps that have multiple languages. I know I can set up the devices to have international keyboards.
What would be terrific is if there was a way to select the English keyboard for the english words and the specific foreign keyboard for each language that I use.
Does anyone know if this is possible, and how?
It's up to the user which keyboards they use at all times. If they have multiple languages enabled then they can switch between them freely without leaving the view, as an extra button is added for the purpose. You can't give a hint as to which language the user is likely to want.
Those properties you can adjust are given by the UITextInputTraits protocol, so that should give a full list of things you can specify. I believe they're all exposed on the relevant controls by Interface Builder and/or Xcode 4, so shouldn't be much of a surprise.
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but what you're asking is simply not possible.
If I declare "Japanese, French, German, Simplified Chinese, Thai" in the "Localization" field of my app's myApp-info.plist file, will the iTunes Store detect this and correctly advertise these (together with the "Localization native development region" of "English") as the languages in which my app is available?
If not, what should I do to make sure these localizations are advertised?
Should I replace the "Localization" entry with comma-separated string of ISO_639-1 codes "en, fr, de, ja, th, zh-Hans"?
Thanking you in advance.
In your Info.plist, you need a "Localizations" (CFBundleLocalizations is the raw key name) entry of array type. Add all the supported languages to the array as separated items of the form "English", "German", etc. You don't need to use ISO codes.
On iTunes Connect, you will also want to localize the description of your app when you do the submission.
At the end of the document iOS User Experience - Internationalization Programming Topics it says that the words English, French, Portuguese,... are now deprecated and their ISO codes should be used instead.

I think the previous link gives a pretty good idea of how to do I18N on the iPhone, but if you feel you need more info, you can try this article http://blog.federicomestrone.com/2010/05/18/internationalise-your-iphone-apps-with-xcode/ which is just slightly more code-orientated.
The point though is always the same - you have to separate code from text resources and load all your text (strings) with the NSLocalizedString macro, or a variant thereof.
I have some short text that I want to ship in the currently active language. What's the most easy way to do it? Example: I have the text "the cat", but when someone from spain uses the app, he/she wants to read "el gato". Is there a standard way to do it easily with UIKit? They're pretty simple texts only. I can imagine some kind of property list and feeding it with a key and locale, and getting the appropriate text snippet out of there.
Check out NSLocalizedString.
