Modify the locale of the editor

If you want to try the changes you made, you can modify the locale of the editor by changing the supportedLocales variable in example/lib/main.dart to the locale you want to test.

// example/lib/main.dart
// Change this:
supportedLocales: AppFlowyEditorLocalizations.delegate.supportedLocales,
// to the locale you want to test, for example fr_FR:
supportedLocales: const [Locale('fr', 'FR')],

Or you can do it interactively by adding a Floating Action Button to the page. Edit example/lib/home_page.dart:

You need to rebuild to see the changes of the translated strings.

// example/lib/home_page.dart
class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
  // other code...

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      // other code...
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: toggleLocale,
        child: const Icon(Icons.language),
      ),
    );
  }

  void toggleLocale() {
    final locale = Intl.getCurrentLocale();
        if (locale.startsWith('en')) {
      // Change to the locale you want to test
      AppFlowyEditorLocalizations.load(const Locale('pt', 'BR')); 
    } else {
      AppFlowyEditorLocalizations.load(const Locale('en', 'US'));
    }
  }
