Internationalization (and not only)
summary
Shows concrete tooling and gotchas for Flutter i18n: use the intl package DateFormat and NumberFormat to get locale aware dates numbers and currencies, and pass full BCP 47 locales not just a language code so scripts and countries (Serbian Cyrillic vs Latin) work. ARB files with ICU message format let generated delegates accept DateTime and numeric placeholders after running flutter gen-l10n aka flutter generate localization. Watch RTL mirroring, font fallbacks, Indian lakh numbering, and add localization tests and golden screenshots.
