Description

Merges language-tag.json files from given path in root and all dependant packages. Creates a map with translations. You can redirect (from one key to another), overwrite and fill missing translations with values from default language.

Implementation

Visit pub.dev -> install.

Preparing .json files

1. Files containing translations must have names (case sensitive) like keys from language_tags.dart.
2. Files must contain only correct Map. For example:

{'foo': 'bar', 'deeper_example': {'deeper_key': 'deeper_value'}, 'test': '-->deeper_example.deeper_key'}

Translation redirecting "-->"

As you probably notice above, you can get translation from another key. All you need to do is to add "-->" at the beginning of a value and after that (without any space) a key of a source value. If the source value is nested, you have to join all keys which lead to the value by a dot.

Overwriting translations

You can overwrite a translation from each package. You just need to add overwriting translation to assets/i18n directory. Remember, filename must be the same as language tag you want to overwrite.

How to use

1. Do not place or modify your files in given target directory. The script removes its content every time.
2. Place .json files in source dir (by default: lib/src/i18n).
3. Run the command below in the root directory of your project:

pub run o_i18n_generator

1. In order to see default values and help, just run:

pub run o_i18n_generator --help

What files are generated?

You can choose output-extension. By default it is dart. But you can select json either. If you want to generate dart files, command generates files containing a map (name of map is language tag from language_tags.dart but without a dash) of translations. Besides it generates LocaleLoader class, which contains all supported language tags and helps to load translation map easily.

Commercial Use

If you use this code in commercial project, please donate me via GitHub Sponsors. I do the same for packages which I use, because it ensures stable development for all of us!
