ilib-loctool-webos-dart

ilib-loctool-webos-dart is a plugin for loctool that allows it to read and localize Dart files. This plugin is optimized for the webOS platform.

Dart FileType

This plugin expects the code to use the flutter_translate library.

However, it has some different behavior on webOS.
This is because we are using the flutter_translate library with some modifications to meet the needs of webOS.
The key of translation() must not be split by dot(.) symbol.
because webOS localization is plain-text based (not text-ID based).
The localization tool does not generate resources in nested JSON format, except for plural cases.

Also, this plugin intentionally keeps locale entries even when the translated value is the same as the base locale translation. Because flutter_translate does not provide locale fallback behavior in this workflow, removing entries that duplicate base locale values could cause missing runtime strings.

It extracts string usages used in the examples below by considering them as strings that need to be translated.

translate("High")
translate("High", key: "home_connect_210")
translate("{arg1} app cannot be deleted.", args:{"arg1": "Settings"})
translate("The lowest temperature is {arg1} and the highest temperature is {arg2}.", args:{"arg1": 15, "arg2": 30})

translatePlural('plural.demo', _counter);
translatePlural('1#At least 1 letter|#At least {num} letters', num);

Sample

The simple sample is provided in the samples-loctool. Please check the webos-dart sample to see how the Dart file type is localized.
