Internationalization (i18n) is the process of adapting an app to be used in different languages and regions. In Flutter, you can use the flutter_localizations package to add internationalization support to your app.

Here’s an example of how you might use the flutter_localizations package to internationalize your Flutter app:

  1. Add the flutter_localizations package to your pubspec.yaml file:
dependencies:
flutter:
sdk: flutter
flutter_localizations:
sdk: flutter

2. Create localization files for each language that you want to support. These files should contain the translated strings for your app. For example, you might create a strings_en.arb file for English and a strings_es.arb file for Spanish.

3. Use the Localizations widget to select the appropriate localization for the current device. You'll need to specify the list of supported locales and provide a delegate for each locale:

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
localizationsDelegates: [
GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate,
GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate,
// Add a delegate for your app's supported locales here
],
supportedLocales: [
// Add a list of your app's supported locales here
],
home: MyHomePage(),
);
}
}

4. Use the Localizations.of method to access the localized strings in your widgets. For example:

Text(Localizations.of(context).title)
