Package Overview

Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.

Language Pickers is a Flutter package that simplifies the creation of language selection pickers. It provides pre-built, customizable widgets for selecting languages, supporting internationalization in apps with minimal effort. The package is designed to be flexible and easy to integrate, allowing developers to quickly implement language choice functionality across various UI contexts. It supports multiple languages and can be used in forms, settings screens, or any interface requiring language selection. The package is open-source and freely available for use in both personal and commercial projects.

Use cases

  • App localization setup
  • User language preference selection
  • Settings screen language picker
  • Multilingual form inputs
  • Internationalized app interfaces

Key features

  • Pre-built language picker widgets
  • Customizable UI components
  • Easy integration with Flutter
  • Supports internationalization
  • Open-source and free to use

Suitable for

  • Developers building multilingual apps
  • UI designers needing language selection tools
  • Projects requiring quick i18n implementation
  • Flutter beginners exploring pickers
  • Apps targeting global audiences

Considerations

  • Requires manual handling of language switching logic
  • No built-in translation support
  • Limited to UI selection, not language data management
  • May need additional packages for full i18n
  • Platform-specific behavior not explicitly documented

language_pickers

It's package for Dart and Flutter.

It makes language select pickers for you in Flutter. You can use it freely in lots of ways.

And specially thanks to Figen Güngör(@figengungor), who is opened the source code of 'country_pickers'. Lots of source codes are from country_pickers GitHub Repository, so works are very easy. Thanks again.

Upgrading from 0.3.x

0.4.0 does not break your code. The old API still works, it only warns you. Here is what to move to:

0.3.x 0.4.0
defaultLanguagesList (List<Map<String, String>>) Languages.defaultLanguages (List<Language>)
languagesList: myMaps languages: myLanguages
LanguagePickerUtils.getLanguageByIsoCode('ko') Language.fromIsoCode('ko')
— Languages.korean, Languages.english, …

One behaviour changed: an unknown ISO code now throws an ArgumentError instead of an Exception. ArgumentError is an Error, so on Exception catch no longer catches it.

Every Language also has a nativeName now, and Language implements == and hashCode, so you can put it in a Set or use it as a Map key.

Getting Started

LanguagePickerDropdown example
import 'package:language_pickers/language_pickers.dart';

Language _selectedDropdownLanguage = Language.fromIsoCode('ko');

// It's sample code of Dropdown Item.
// nativeName is the name written in the language itself, e.g. '한국어'.
Widget _buildDropdownItem(Language language) {
  return Row(
    children: <Widget>[
      SizedBox(
        width: 8.0,
      ),
      Text("${language.name} (${language.nativeName})"),
    ],
  );
}


// Builder
LanguagePickerDropdown(
                    initialValue: 'ko',
                    itemBuilder: _buildDropdownItem,
                    onValuePicked: (Language language) {
                      _selectedDropdownLanguage = language;
                      print(_selectedDropdownLanguage.name);
                      print(_selectedDropdownLanguage.isoCode);
                    },
                  ),
Narrowing the languages down
LanguagePickerDropdown(
  languages: const <Language>[
    Languages.korean,
    Languages.english,
    Languages.japanese,
  ],
),
LanguagePickerDropdownController example

The controller lets you read and change the selection from outside the picker.

final controller =
    LanguagePickerDropdownController(initialValue: Languages.korean);

@override
void dispose() {
  controller.dispose();
  super.dispose();
}

// Builder
LanguagePickerDropdown(controller: controller),

// Somewhere else
controller.selectIsoCode('ja');   // the dropdown follows
print(controller.value.name);     // reads the current selection
LanguagePickerDialog example
import 'package:language_pickers/language_pickers.dart';

Language _selectedDialogLanguage =
      Language.fromIsoCode('ko');

// It's sample code of Dialog Item.
Widget _buildDialogItem(Language language) => Row(
    children: <Widget>[
      Text(language.name),
      SizedBox(width: 8.0),
      Flexible(child: Text("(${language.isoCode})"))
    ],
  );

void _openLanguagePickerDialog() => showDialog(
    context: context,
    builder: (context) => Theme(
        data: Theme.of(context).copyWith(primaryColor: Colors.pink),
        child: LanguagePickerDialog(
            titlePadding: EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
            searchCursorColor: Colors.pinkAccent,
            searchInputDecoration: InputDecoration(hintText: 'Search...'),
            isSearchable: true,
            title: Text('Select your language'),
            onValuePicked: (Language language) => setState(() {
                  _selectedDialogLanguage = language;
                  print(_selectedDialogLanguage.name);
                  print(_selectedDialogLanguage.isoCode);
                }),
            itemBuilder: _buildDialogItem)),
  );
LanguagePickerCupertino example
import 'package:language_pickers/language_pickers.dart';

Language _selectedCupertinoLanguage = Language.fromIsoCode('ko');

// It's sample code of Cupertino Item.
void _openCupertinoLanguagePicker() => showCupertinoModalPopup<void>(
  context: context,
  builder: (BuildContext context) {
    return LanguagePickerCupertino(
      pickerSheetHeight: 200.0,
      onValuePicked: (Language language) => setState(() {
            _selectedCupertinoLanguage = language;
            print(_selectedCupertinoLanguage.name);
            print(_selectedCupertinoLanguage.isoCode);
          }),
    );
  });

Widget _buildCupertinoItem(Language language) => Row(
    children: <Widget>[
      Text("+${language.name}"),
      SizedBox(width: 8.0),
      Flexible(child: Text(language.name))
    ],
  );

Information

If a name or a native name is wrong, please make some issues on GitHub.

The names and the native names are based on the public ISO 639-1 code table. Where the table lists several native writings for one language, this package keeps one representative writing, so that it fits in a dropdown.
