Intl class

The Intl class provides a common entry point for internationalization related tasks. An Intl instance can be created for a particular locale and used to create a date format via anIntl.date(). Static methods on this class are also used in message formatting.

Examples: today(date) => Intl.message( "Today's date is $date", name: 'today', args: date, desc: 'Indicate the current date', examples: const {'date' : 'June 8, 2012'}); print(today(new DateTime.now().toString());

 howManyPeople(numberOfPeople, place) => Intl.plural(
       zero: 'I see no one at all',
       one: 'I see $numberOfPeople other person',
       other: 'I see $numberOfPeople other people')} in $place.''',
     name: 'msg',
     args: [numberOfPeople, place],
     desc: 'Description of how many people are seen in a place.',
     examples: const {'numberOfPeople': 3, 'place': 'London'});

Calling howManyPeople(2, 'Athens'); would produce "I see 2 other people in Athens." as output in the default locale. If run in a different locale it would produce appropriately translated output.

For more detailed information on messages and localizing them see the main package documentation

You can set the default locale. Intl.defaultLocale = "pt_BR";

To temporarily use a locale other than the default, use the withLocale function. var todayString = new DateFormat("pt_BR").format(new DateTime.now()); print(withLocale("pt_BR", () => today(todayString));

See tests/message_format_test.dart for more examples.
