Flutter l18n Flutter Gen-l18n IntelliJ IDEA Plugin

Use AI to internationalize your Flutter apps in Android Studio.

Features

• SetUp intl: If INTL is not yet set up: right click anywhere and click "Setup Flutter Intl". It will add imports, and fix your MaterialApp/CupertinoApps based on your settings • Internationalize file/directory: Right click file or directory, select translate file/directory, choose strings to translate (e.g. print statements you may ignore). Get a best guess for the intl keys (i.e. based on context of the file, and also filename) by AI. Accept and translate to all languages configured in your project. • Translate to new Language: You can right-click on an .arb (Application Resource Bundle) file in the project view and choose the "Translate this to new Arb file" option. This action translates the entire file. • Translate missing keys: go to untranslated-messages.txt and right-click anywhere, choose "Translate missing keys" This will translate all missing keys in your project. • Custom instructions: You can customize the instructions for the AI model to suit your translation needs. This allows you to provide specific guidelines or context for the translations. • Select model: You can choose between different AI models (e.g., gemini-flash, ...). I choose Gemini, because it's affordable, ridiculously fast and works well for this use case. Initially I had used openAI, but you all know what happened to them. They got steamrolled.

Requirements

Nothing, but rate limits will apply - Please use a Gemini API Key.

Possible Improvements

Here are some ideas, if you want to improve (sorry for the code base)

separate tree for ignored entries

• When localizing, some things are just never localized • Don't mark them by default • how to identify them? hash with file + context + string • show them in a separate view somehow. • mark them as ignored, when not translated, once • still show them (e.g. in a second tab, when tabbed (ignored from previous runs)

Performance Speedup by translating multiple keys per request instead of one

this is a bigger refactor starting with the request to the LLM, we need to request multi line json, we need to identify them back again and then we need to map them back correctly. we need chunking and upstream we need all the changes, too. e.g. translation task amount calculation.

But it's also valid to just fire 100 parallel tasks... it's just resource heavy and one needs an api key...

Check for existing keys

e.g. when we translate a file there are many common buttons, like e.g. Cancel, Save, .... we should provide all existing common keys to AI and let AI choose, if we can use them. If yes, use them, if not proceed with the translation (of the rest)

error on existing keys

currently you can add existing keys, which is an error

Disclaimer

This plugin was developed for the purpose of learning Kotlin and IntelliJ IDEA plugin development. The code quality may not be optimal as it was developed while experimenting with Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and faced time constraints.

Please note that this plugin is provided as-is, and I do not guarantee its compatibility with future versions of Flutter or IntelliJ IDEA. Use it at your own risk.

If you encounter any issues or have suggestions for improvement, feel free to report them on the project's GitHub repository.

Important: Keep in mind that the use of the Gemini API for translation may be subject to terms and conditions, including limitations on the number of requests or usage restrictions. Ensure you comply with OpenAI's guidelines and any applicable usage restrictions when using this plugin.

We hope you find this plugin helpful for your Flutter localization needs!
