Flutter app language update
Description
The Flutter mobile app is built with FVM 3.38.5 and targets both iOS and Android. The backend is Magento 2 with 32 store views covering up to 32 languages and locales.
The language infrastructure code is already implemented in the app. This role covers two outstanding deliverables only:
Language switcher UI -- add a visible in-app dropdown so the user can change language and locale at runtime.
API localisation -- update 35 existing API calls so each one passes the correct country-specific store code, locale, and currency to the Magento REST API.
No architectural decisions are to be made independently. All changes must follow the existing patterns in the codebase. All questions must be escalated before proceeding.
SCOPE OF WORK
TASK 1 -- LANGUAGE SWITCHER DROPDOWN
The app already has locale/language state management in place. The contractor must:
- Add a language/country switcher dropdown widget to the appropriate screen (to be agreed with the project lead before starting).
- The dropdown must list all supported store locales in the correct display format
- Selecting a language must update the app locale state, persist the selection across sessions, and reload the current view.
- The switcher must respect the 32 supported store views and their corresponding locale codes.
- UI will remain the same this is inly a translation of the app
TASK 2 -- API CALL LOCALISATION (35 CALLS)
The app makes 35 API calls to the Magento 2 REST API. Currently these calls do not pass the correct country-specific store code and locale parameters. Each call must be updated to:
- Pass the correct Magento store code in the API path or header based on the user's currently selected locale.
- Pass the correct locale and currency where the API supports it.
- Derive all store-specific values from a single source of truth (the existing locale/store mapping already in the codebase).
- Never hardcode a store code, locale, or currency in any API call.
- All 35 calls must be updated -- no partial completion accepted.
The contractor must audit all 35 calls, document what each one does, and confirm the mapping before making any change. A list must be submitted to the project lead for review before coding begins.
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
