Why FlutterLocalisation Transforms Your Flutter Translation Workflow

If you're building multilingual Flutter apps, you know the pain: manually editing .arb files, coordinating with translators via email, dealing with Git conflicts... What if all of this could be automated?

The Problem We Solve

Current Flutter localization looks like this:

  • ⏰ 2-5 hours per release managing translations
  • πŸ“ Manual editing of complex JSON files
  • πŸ“§ Chaotic coordination with translators
  • πŸ”₯ Git conflicts on .arb files
  • πŸ› Syntax errors that break builds
  • πŸ”„ Repetitive process for each new language

Our Solution in Action

✨ Complete Automation

You: Add a new translation key
FlutterLocalisation: Automatically generates .arb files
Git: Receives updated files
Team: Pulls changes like normal code

No more manual JSON editing!

🀝 Visual Collaboration

Your translators work in an intuitive interface:

  • No JSON to understand
  • Visual context for each string
  • Role-based access (developer, translator, reviewer)
  • Real-time comments and suggestions

🎯 Smart Plural Handling

// Before: Complex syntax by hand
"itemCount": "{count, plural, =0{No items} =1{One item} other{{count} items}}"

// After: Simple interface
Singular: "One item"
Plural: "{count} items"
Zero: "No items"

FlutterLocalisation automatically generates ICU MessageFormat syntax.
