Internationalization

DroneBook includes Flutter localization (i18n/l10n) support out of the box.

• Supported languages - English (en) and German (de)
• ARB files - lib/l10n/app_en.arb and lib/l10n/app_de.arb
• Generated localizations - app_localizations*.dart files in lib/l10n/

Add a New Language

1. Create a new ARB file in lib/l10n/ (for example app_fr.arb)
2. Add all translated keys matching the existing ARB structure
3. Regenerate localizations:

flutter gen-l10n

4. Restart the app and verify the new locale appears correctly

Prerequisites

• Flutter SDK 3.11.0 or newer
• A Supabase project
• Android Studio/Xcode (depending on your target platform)

Setup

1. Create a Supabase Project

1. Create a project at supabase.com
2. Open Project Settings -> API
3. Copy:
   • SUPABASE_URL
   • SUPABASE_ANON_KEY

2. Configure Environment Variables

Create a local env file from the example:

cp .env.local.example .env.local

Then update .env.local:

SUPABASE_URL=https://your-project-ref.supabase.co
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=your-supabase-anon-key

Configuration notes:

• SUPABASE_URL - Your Supabase project URL (required)
• SUPABASE_ANON_KEY - Your Supabase anon/public key (required)

Security note:

• Keep .env.local private and never commit real credentials
• This repository is configured to ignore .env files

3. Install Dependencies

flutter pub get

4. Run the App

flutter run

Supabase (Optional Local Dev)

If you use the local Supabase CLI workflow in supabase/:

pnpm install
pnpm supabase start

When running locally, point SUPABASE_URL to your local instance (for example http://127.0.0.1:54321).
