auto_langx 1.0.1

Automatic translation package for Flutter apps using Google Cloud Translation API. Translate text dynamically at runtime without .arb files.

AutoLangx

AutoLangx is a powerful Flutter package that automatically translates all text in your app dynamically using Google Cloud Translation API - just like having Google Translate built into your app!

No .arb files, no .json files, no complicated setup. Just add .autoTr() to any text and it becomes translatable instantly.

✨ Features

• 🌍 Dynamic Real-time Translation - Translate text at runtime using Google Cloud Translation API
• 🚀 Zero Configuration - No .arb, .json, or .env files needed
• 💾 Smart Caching - Automatic local caching with SharedPreferences to reduce API calls
• 📱 Offline Support - Works offline for previously cached translations
• 🔄 Instant Language Switching - Change app language with a single function call
• 🌐 Unlimited Languages - Support for all languages available in Google Translate
• ⚡ Simple API - Just use .autoTr() extension on any string
• 🎯 No State Management Required - Uses ChangeNotifier for reactivity

📦 Installation

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  auto_langx: ^1.0.0

Then run:

flutter pub get

🔑 Setup Google Cloud Translation API

1. Go to Google Cloud Console
2. Create a new project or select existing one
3. Enable the Cloud Translation API
4. Go to APIs & Services > Credentials
5. Click Create Credentials > API Key
6. Copy your API key

🚀 Usage

1. Initialize AutoLangx

Initialize the package in your main() function:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:auto_langx/auto_langx.dart';

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  
  // Initialize with your Google API key
  await AutoLangxController.instance.init("YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY");
  
  runApp(MyApp());
}

2. Use .autoTr() Extension

Simply add .autoTr() to any string to make it translatable:

class HomePage extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: "Welcome".autoTr(),
      ),
      body: Column(
        children: [
          "Hello, how are you?".autoTr(),
          "This text will be translated automatically".autoTr(
            style: TextStyle(fontSize: 18, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

3. Change Language

Switch the entire app language with a single function call:

// Change to Urdu
await AutoLangxController.instance.changeLanguage('ur');

// Change to Spanish
await AutoLangxController.instance.changeLanguage('es');

// Change to French
await AutoLangxController.instance.changeLanguage('fr');

// Back to English
await AutoLangxController.instance.changeLanguage('en');

All .autoTr() widgets automatically update when language changes!

4. Language Selector Example

ElevatedButton(
  onPressed: () async {
    await AutoLangxController.instance.changeLanguage('ur');
  },
  child: Text('اردو'),
),
ElevatedButton(
  onPressed: () async {
    await AutoLangxController.instance.changeLanguage('en');
  },
  child: Text('English'),
),

5. Clear Cache (Optional)

// Clear all cached translations
await AutoLangxController.instance.clearCache();

🌍 Supported Languages

All languages supported by Google Cloud Translation API, including:

• English (en)
• Urdu (ur)

💡 How It Works

1. First Call: Text is sent to Google Cloud Translation API
2. Caching: Translation is automatically cached locally using SharedPreferences
3. Subsequent Calls: Cached translation is used (works offline!)
4. Language Change: All widgets with .autoTr() automatically rebuild with new translations
5. Persistence: Last selected language is saved and restored on app restart
