A Dart CLI that takes a project from one language to dozens without hand-editing ARB.
A Dart CLI tool that automates Flutter localization end to end. It parses ARB files, preserves ICU plural and select structure through machine translation, and generates the delegates and accessors, turning a multi-day chore into a command.
Machine translation and ICU message syntax are natural enemies. A plural or select block is a small program embedded in a string, and a translation API happily returns a fluent sentence with the braces rearranged and the argument names translated, which compiles to nothing or, worse, compiles and renders wrong for exactly one locale. The tool had to translate the prose and leave the program alone.
Parse, don't regex
A real ARB parser walks the file and isolates translatable prose from ICU structure and placeholders, so the syntax survives a round trip through a translation API intact.
Translate the text, preserve the program
Google Translate is applied only to the extracted prose segments; braces, argument names, plural categories and select cases are reassembled afterwards.
Generate what Flutter expects
Localization delegates and typed string accessors are emitted in the shape flutter gen-l10n consumers already use, so adopting it changes nothing downstream.
How it is put together
ARB parser
Key extraction with ICU plural and select structure held separately from prose
Translation stage
Prose-only calls to the translation API, with placeholders masked
Code generation
Delegates and typed accessors matching the standard Flutter localization surface
The calls worth defending
The output is for development, review and testing. It unblocks building a multi-locale app before a translator is hired, rather than pretending to replace one. Framing it that way is the difference between a useful tool and a shipped mistranslation.
What shipped
CLI in action
One command from a single-language project to dozens of locales
