Not working?

As I can't always update the instance list (instances are run by volunteers and can be turned off at any time), do one of the following:

  • fetch the working instances via fetchInstances (look at example code, corresponding project is here)
  • Search for new instances by googling "simplytranslate" or "lingva translate" and set the instance with setInstance = "instance"
  • lingva instances can also be found here

Adding the package to your project

To add this package to your project, add the following line to your pubspec.yaml file under dependencies:
