Is there any library for Sinhala language in flutter localization?

[Yasas Sandeepa]

I’m developing a mobile application using flutter to be used in my country, Sri Lanka. I have to use Sinhala language as the font in the mobile UIs. I searched it on many websites, went through documentations  but unable to find a proper solution. I want to know whether there is a flutter_localization library that can be used in my application or any other solution to this. Thanks in advance.

I would be loading a new font (Sinhala font in our case) and use it in the app...  Here is what we do for our regional language app:

1. Drop your font in the app to this path: /assets/fonts/xxx.ttf  (You need to create assets/font folder in your app)
2. Define it in the pubspec.yaml like:

• fonts:
     - family: xxx
       fonts:
         - asset: assets/fonts/xxx.ttf

3.  Then attach it to the text widget where you want to use the said font:

• Text(title, style: TextStyle(fontFamily: "xxx", fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),));

Hope this helps... if you need a full working sample app let me know can send over the code...

Thank you very much for your kind attention. But I also need English as secondary language. In this method, I have to hardcode each and every value and it is way more difficult to handle with a isSelect boolean variable. (Also I cannot implement it with API requests..Is there a way to translate it?) Can you please provide a convenient way..!! Thanks in advance.

If you need dual language support... then we take this approach:

1. Define a app_theme.dart class...  in that all the app theme related stuff we handle - like theme_data, color, font style, font size, day or night mode, etc... 
2. In that the selected font loading part is handled like: 

• class AppTheme {

• ....

• static bodyTextStyle(BuildContext context) {
    String fontFamily = Provider.of<AppSettingsProvider>(context).isEnglishLang() ? "Helvetica": "thiruvachanam" ;
    return new TextStyle(fontSize: 16.0, fontFamily: fontFamily);
  }

• }

3. Then for any TextWidget, from anywhere in the app just set the style object like...

• @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    ...
    ....
    return Text(verseString, style: AppTheme.bodyTextStyle(context),);
  }

This should help you in getting the dual language support done...

NB: On a side note we use Provider state management to persist the language selection... To use provider is altogether a different topic on how to persist/save AppSettings... but for now you can just replace that call with a simple bool var isEnglish.
