Migration guide for material localized strings

Summary

#

ReorderableListView's localized strings were moved from material localizations to widgets localizations. These strings were deprecated in material localizations.

Context

#

ReorderableListView uses these strings to annotate its semantics actions. To apply the same annotations to ReorderableList and SliverReorderableList, they need to access these strings from widgets library.

Description of change

#

The MaterialLocalizations strings for reorderItemToStart, reorderItemToEnd, reorderItemUp, reorderItemDown, reorderItemLeft, and reorderItemRight are deprecated and replaced by the same strings in WidgetsLocalizations.

Migration guide

#

If you use these strings in your code, you can access them from WidgetsLocalizationsinstead.

Code before migration:

dart
MaterialLocalizations.of(context).reorderItemToStart;

Code after migration:

dart
WidgetsLocalizations.of(context).reorderItemToStart;

If you override MaterialLocalizations or WidgetsLocalizations, make sure to remove the translations from the MaterialLocalizations subclass and move them to the WidgetsLocalizations subclass.

Code before migration:

dart
class MaterialLocalizationsMyLanguage extends MaterialLocalizationsEn {
  // ...
  @override
  String get reorderItemRight => 'my translation';
}

Code after migration:

dart
class MaterialLocalizationsMyLanguage extends MaterialLocalizationsEn {
  // ...
}

class WidgetsLocalizationsMyLanguage extends WidgetsLocalizationsEn {
  // ...
  @override
  String get reorderItemRight => 'my translation';
}
