Localization in Flutter Cartesian Charts (SfCartesianChart)

9 Oct 20236 minutes to read

By default, the Cartesian charts widget supports US English localizations. You can change the other languages by specifying the MaterialApp properties and adding the flutter_localizations package to your application.

To use flutter_localizations, add the package as dependency to pubspec.yaml file.

DART

dependencies:
      flutter_localizations:
        sdk: flutter

Next, import the flutter_localizations library and specify localizationsDelegates and supportedLocales for MaterialApp.

DART

import 'package:flutter_localizations/flutter_localizations.dart'; 

    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
      return MaterialApp(
        localizationsDelegates: const [
          GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate,
          GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate,
        ],
        supportedLocales: [
          const Locale('en'),
          const Locale('fr'),
          const Locale('ar'),
        ],
        locale: const Locale('ar'),
        title: 'Cartesian Chart Localization',
        home: Scaffold(
          body: SfCartesianChart(

            // Other Configurations..

          ),
        ),
      );
    }

Localization support for built-in text

Based on the current locale, the built-in text in the legend and tooltips are translated automatically.

Localize the custom text in chart

Cartesian chart custom text can be localized using the syncfusion_localizations package and specifying localizationsDelegates in MaterialApp.

To use syncfusion_localizations, add the package as dependency to pubspec.yaml file.

DART

dependencies:
      syncfusion_localizations: ^xx.x.xx

Note: Here xx.x.xx denotes the current version of syncfusion_localizations package.

Next, import the syncfusion_localizations library.

DART

import 'package:syncfusion_localizations/syncfusion_localizations.dart';

Then, declare the SfGlobalLocalizations.delegate in the localizationsDelegates, which is used to localize the custom string (series name displayed in legend) in the Cartesian chart and specify the supportedLocales as well.

DART

late TooltipBehavior _tooltipBehavior;

    @override
    void initState(){
      _tooltipBehavior = TooltipBehavior(enable: true);
      super.initState(); 
    }

    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
      final List<ChartData> chartData = <ChartData>[
        ChartData(x: 'الصين', y: 34),
        ChartData(x: 'إيطاليا', y: 42),
        ChartData(x: 'ديك رومى', y: 18),
        ChartData(x: 'المكسيك', y: 24),
        ChartData(x: 'تايلاند', y: 22),
        ChartData(x: 'ألمانيا', y: 38)
      ];
      return MaterialApp(
        localizationsDelegates: [
          GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate,
          GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate,
          SfGlobalLocalizations.delegate
        ],
        supportedLocales: [
          const Locale('en'),
          const Locale('fr'),
          const Locale('ar'),
        ],
        locale: const Locale('ar'),
        home: Scaffold(
          body: SfCartesianChart(
            legend: Legend(isVisible: true),
            tooltipBehavior: _tooltipBehavior,
            primaryAxis: CategoryAxis(),
            series: <CartesianSeries<ChartData, int>>[
              LineSeries<ChartData, int>(
                dataSource: chartData,
                xValueMapper: (ChartData data, _) => data.x,
                yValueMapper: (ChartData data, _) => data.y,
              ),
            ]
          ),
        ),
      );
    }

    class ChartData {
      ChartData(this.x, this.y);
        final String x;
        final int y;
    }
