The AppLocalizations class also provides auto-generated
localizationsDelegates and supportedLocales lists.
You can use these instead of providing them manually.
<code_start>const MaterialApp(
title: 'Localizations Sample App',
localizationsDelegates: AppLocalizations.localizationsDelegates,
supportedLocales: AppLocalizations.supportedLocales,
);<code_end>
Once the Material app has started,
you can use AppLocalizations anywhere in your app:
<code_start>appBar: AppBar(
// The [AppBar] title text should update its message
// according to the system locale of the target platform.
// Switching between English and Spanish locales should
// cause this text to update.
title: Text(AppLocalizations.of(context)!.helloWorld),
),<code_end>
info Note
The Material app has to actually be started to initialize
AppLocalizations. If the app hasn’t yet started,
AppLocalizations.of(context)!.helloWorld causes a
null exception.This code generates a Text widget that displays “Hello World!”
if the target device’s locale is set to English,
and “¡Hola Mundo!” if the target device’s locale is set
to Spanish. In the arb files,
the key of each entry is used as the method name of the getter,
while the value of that entry contains the localized message.The gen_l10n_example uses this tool.To localize your device app description,
pass the localized string to
MaterialApp.onGenerateTitle:
<code_start>return MaterialApp(
onGenerateTitle: (context) => DemoLocalizations.of(context).title,<code_end>

Placeholders, plurals, and selects
lightbulb Tip
When using VS Code, add the arb-editor extension.
This extension adds syntax highlighting, snippets,
diagnostics, and quick fixes to help edit .arb template files.You can also include application values in a message with
special syntax that uses a placeholder to generate a method
instead of a getter.
A placeholder, which must be a valid Dart identifier name,
becomes a positional parameter in the generated method in the
AppLocalizations code. Define a placeholder name by wrapping
it in curly braces as follows:Define each placeholder in the placeholders object
in the app’s .arb file. For example,
to define a hello message with a userName parameter,
add the following to lib/l10n/app_en.arb:
<code_start>"hello": "Hello {userName}",
"@hello": {
"description": "A message with a single parameter",
"placeholders": {
"userName": {
"type": "String",
"example": "Bob"
}
}
}<code_end>
This code snippet adds a hello method call to
the AppLocalizations.of(context) object,
and the method accepts a parameter of type String;
the hello method returns a string.
Regenerate the AppLocalizations file.Replace the code passed into Builder with the following:
<code_start>// Examples of internationalized strings.
return Column(
children: <Widget>[
// Returns 'Hello John'
Text(AppLocalizations.of(context)!.hello('John')),
],
);<code_end>
You can also use numerical placeholders to specify multiple values.
Different languages have different ways to pluralize words.
The syntax also supports specifying how a word should be pluralized.
A pluralized message must include a num parameter indicating
how to pluralize the word in different situations.
English, for example, pluralizes “person” to “people”,
but that doesn’t go far enough.
The message0 plural might be “no people” or “zero people”.
The messageFew plural might be
“several people”, “some people”, or “a few people”.
The messageMany plural might
be “most people” or “many people”, or “a crowd”.
Only the more general messageOther field is required.
The following example shows what options are available:The previous expression is replaced by the message variation
(message0, message1, …) corresponding to the value
of the countPlaceholder.
Only the messageOther field is required.The following example defines a message that pluralizes
the word, “wombat”:
<code_start>"nWombats": "{count, plural, =0{no wombats} =1{1 wombat} other{{count} wombats}}",
"@nWombats": {
"description": "A plural message",
"placeholders": {
"count": {
"type": "num",
"format": "compact"
}
}
}<code_end>
Use a plural method by passing in the count parameter:
