Localization

Dates

To localize dates you can pass the dateLocale parameter to the Chat widget. This locale will be passed to intl, so we can localize dates.

info

Before you can use a dateLocale, you need to initialize the intl date formatting. To do it you can:

1. Add intl to your pubspec.yaml.
2. Inside main()

import 'package:intl/date_symbol_data_local.dart';

void main() {
  initializeDateFormatting().then((_) => runApp(const MyApp()));
}

This is the simplest solution, do your research if you want to handle it more gracefully.

Texts

You can override anything from some defined l10n or create a new one from scratch. See the l10n implementation here. To override l10n partially, use any defined l10n and change what is needed, like on this example:

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) => Scaffold(
    body: Chat(
      l10n: const ChatL10nEn(
        inputPlaceholder: 'Here',
      ),
    ),
  );

If you created a l10n from scratch just pass it to the l10n parameter. To see all available l10ns, check API reference.
