How to add translations for your language

You can use Weblate to translate the app to your language:

https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/fluffychat/

Replace the non-translated string in the codebase:

Text("Hello world"),

with a method call:

Text(L10n.of(context).helloWorld),

and add the following import if missing:

import 'package:flutter_gen/gen_l10n/l10n.dart';

Add the string to /lib/l10n/l10n_en.arb:

(The following example need to be sorounded by the usual json {} and after the @@locale key)

Example A:

"helloWorld": "Hello World!",
"@helloWorld": {
  "description": "The conventional newborn programmer greeting"
}

Example B:

"hello": "Hello {userName}",
"@hello": {
  "description": "A message with a single parameter",
  "placeholders": {
    "userName": {
      "type": “String”,
      “example”: “Bob”
    }
  }
}

For testing just run a regular build without extras
