Usage #

In your Flutter project, create a locale folder inside the assets directory.
Download the provided Excel translation template and ensure the format is not altered. Add your translations within language.xlsx. You can refer to the example in the example directory.
Export the Excel file to a CSV file, rename it to language.csv, and after downloading, open it to check for any extraneous punctuation or line numbers. Then place it in the locale directory. You can refer to the example for guidance.
Create a res folder inside the lib directory of your Flutter project.
Execute the following command to generate Dart localization files in the res directory. The input and output directories can be changed as needed. In this example, the input directory is ./assets/locale/language.csv and the output directory is lib/res/.
This initial version currently supports English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. You may clone and add other languages as needed.

flutter pub run auto_locale_generator -i ./assets/locale/language.csv -o lib/res/ -r
