Hello Everyone,

I would like to retrieve from my flutter/dart project, the current system lqnguage code, like. fr, en, ...

What I have tried:

I have tried the following:

Locale myLocale = Localizations.localeOf(context);
String lc = currentLanguageCode(myLocale);

print ("Language code: ${lc}");

The problen is from the void initState() statement, the context is null and will then return an empty string.

I was hoping to have a method like:

Platform.isIOS

Does anyonce have an idea how to grab this language code from everywhere in the project.

Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards.

use didChangeDependencies method,the method is called after the initState is called and it gives you access to the context.

Your code will look like this

@override
  void didChangeDependencies() {
    Locale myLocale = Localizations.localeOf(context);
    print('my locale ${myLocale}');
    super.didChangeDependencies();
  }
