# How to localize Flutter app name?

To localize the app name in a Flutter project, you'll need to modify the Android and iOS sections of your code. This process is not related to Flutter itself, but rather to the specific platforms your app is running on.

To begin, you'll need to add translations of your app name for each language you want to support in both the Android and iOS sections of your project. These translations should be included in the appropriate resource files for each platform (e.g., `strings.xml` for Android and `InfoPlist.strings` for iOS).

It's important to note that the app name will change based on the user's device language, not the app's language. So if a user switches their device's language setting from English to French, for example, the app name will automatically update to its French translation.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your Flutter app's name is properly localized and easily accessible to users in their preferred language.

## Android

1. Navigate to the `android\app\src\main\res\values`.

2. Add file `strings.xml` inside the `values` folder.

3. Update the `strings.xml` file.
    ```xml
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <resources>
      <string name="appName">App name default locale</string>
    </resources>
    ```

4. Copy `values` folder for each locale you want to add and update `strings.xml` files with the translated app name.
    ```none
    |--...
    |--values
    |  |--...
    |  |--strings.xml
    |--values-de
    |  |--...
    |  |--strings.xml
    |--values-fr
    |  |--...
    |  |--strings.xml
    ```

5. Update `android:label` within `android\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml` file.
    ```xml highlight="3"
    <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
     <application
        android:label="@string/appName"
        android:name="${applicationName}"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher">
          <!-- Other config... -->
      </application>
    </manifest>
    ```

6. Run the app and see how app name changes when device language changes.

## iOS

1. Update `CFBundleDisplayName` within `ios\Runner\Info.plist` file.
    ```xml highlight="2"
    <key>CFBundleDisplayName</key>
    <string>${PRODUCT_NAME}</string>
    ```

2. Create a new directory within the `Runner` directory called `Resources`.

3. Within the `Resources` directory, create a new file called `InfoPlist.strings`. This file will contain the translations of your app name.

4. For each locale you want to support, create a new directory within the `Resources` directory with the name of the language (e.g., `en.lproj` for English).

5. Within each language directory, create a new file called `InfoPlist.strings`, add it to the `Runner` target in Xcode, and add the following code:
    ```none
    "CFBundleDisplayName" = "Your translated app name";
    ```

6. Run the app and see how app name changes when device language changes.
