Dart Gettext

A Dart implementation of gettext, a localization framework.

Rewritten to dart of node-gettext package.

Also works perfectly with flutter.

Features

• Supports domains, contexts and plurals
• Ships with plural forms for 136 languages
• Change locale or domain on the fly
• Emits events for internal errors, such as missing translations

Usage

import "package:gettext/gettext.dart";

final gt = new Gettext(onWarning: print);

Load data from json:

new File("./en_US.json").readAsString().then(
   (data) {
       final json = json.decode(data["translations"]);
       final gt = new Gettext();
       gt.addTranslations('en_US', Translations.fromJSON(json));
   }
);

Json content:

{
  "charset": "utf-8",
  "headers": {
    "mime-version": "1.0",
    "content-type": "text/plain; charset=utf-8",
    "content-transfer-encoding": "8bit",
    "language": "es-ES",
    "plural-forms": "nplurals=2; plural=(n!=1);",
  },
  "translations": {
    "": {
      "Hello": {
        "msgid": "Hello",
        "comments": {
           "translator": "Normal string"
        },
        "msgstr": [
           "Hola"
        ]
      },
      "An apple": {
        "msgid": "1 apple",
        "comments": {
           "translator": "Plural string"
        },
        "msgstr": [
           "una manzana",
           "%d manzanas"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Change locale:

gt.locale = "en_US";

Change default domain:

gt.domain = "types";

Translate messages:

gt.gettext("Hello");

Translate messages with plural forms:

gt.ngettext("An apple", "%d apples", 3); // returns "%d apples"

API

• gettext(String msgid, {String domain, String context}) → String
• ngettext(String msgid, String msgplural, int count, {String domain, String context}) → String

Working with Flutter

import 'package:flutter/widgets.dart';
import 'package:sprintf/sprintf.dart';
import 'package:gettext/gettext.dart';

class GettextLocalizations {
  final Gettext gt;

  GettextLocalizations(this.gt);

  static GettextLocalizations of(BuildContext context) {
    return Localizations.of<GettextLocalizations>(
        context, GettextLocalizations);
  }

  String __(
      String msgid, [
        List args = const [],
      ]) {
    return sprintf(gt.gettext(msgid), args);
  }

  String __n(
      String msgid,
      String msgidPlural,
      int count, [
        List arg = const [],
      ]) {
    return sprintf(
      gt.ngettext(msgid, msgidPlural, count),
      <dynamic>[count]..addAll(arg),
    );
  }
}

class GettextLocalizationsDelegate
    extends LocalizationsDelegate<GettextLocalizations> {
  final gettext = new Gettext();

  @override
  bool isSupported(Locale locale) => true;

  @override
  bool shouldReload(LocalizationsDelegate<GettextLocalizations> old) => false;

  @override
  Future<GettextLocalizations> load(Locale locale) async {
    final data = await rootBundle.loadString("l10n/$locale.json");

    final jsonData = json.decode(data);

    gettext.locale = locale.toString();
    gettext.addTranslations(locale.toString(), Translations.fromJson(jsonData));

    return GettextLocalizations(gettext);
  }
}
