Bug ID: 417867
Summary: Add support for flutter/dart "arb" file format
Product: lokalize
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general

SUMMARY
It looks like google's new language/framework uses an "arb" file format in
place of po files.
I am not too familiar with it, but they look like plain json files, and would
like to be able to use lokalize to edit them. I'd be happy with a barebones
implementation for now, although the file format doesn't seem overly complex.
The specification is available over there:
https://github.com/google/app-resource-bundle/wiki/ApplicationResourceBundleSpecification
Here is a tutorial with the expected workflow, a possible application, and a
few syntax examples:

As an example, the file I attempted to translate is this one, it makes for a
real-life example:
https://gitlab.com/ChristianPauly/fluffychat-flutter/-/blob/9a52e938628df3c35e2cf7a2af6e33cdb5a0f6ed/lib/i18n/intl_messages.arb
A german-translated one sits in the same folder:
https://gitlab.com/ChristianPauly/fluffychat-flutter/-/blob/9a52e938628df3c35e2cf7a2af6e33cdb5a0f6ed/lib/i18n/intl_de.arb
As well as instruction in that repository's readme:
https://gitlab.com/ChristianPauly/fluffychat-flutter/-/blob/9a52e938628df3c35e2cf7a2af6e33cdb5a0f6ed/README.md#how-to-add-translations-for-your-language
A mime type should probably be created as well, but that can be done
independently.
