Overview
The excel_localization package enables developers to manage app localization by generating variable values from Excel files, eliminating the need for context during translation. It streamlines the internationalization process by allowing teams to edit translations in a familiar spreadsheet format, then automatically generate code assets. This approach simplifies collaboration between developers and translators, ensuring consistent and scalable localization across Android, iOS, Web, and Windows platforms.
