Overview
ARB Generator is a Dart tool that automates the creation of ARB (Android Resource Bundle) localization files from CSV data. It streamlines internationalization workflows by converting structured CSV content into properly formatted ARB files used in Flutter apps. This reduces manual effort and minimizes errors when managing translations across multiple languages. The tool integrates seamlessly with Flutter projects and supports all major platforms, including Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux. It's ideal for teams maintaining large-scale multilingual applications.
