Incorrect Japanese Kanji Display on Android with Japanese Locale #65
Description
When an Android device is set to the Japanese language, some Kanji characters in the S3Drive app are displayed in their Chinese form instead of their Japanese form.
I understand S3Drive uses Flutter. I propose that the app should detect the device's language setting upon startup and adjust the font rendering accordingly.
class MainApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MainApp({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
// Retrieve locale of the terminal without countryCode
// to avoid misconfiguration of font in some OPPO terminal
var locale = WidgetsBinding.instance.platformDispatcher.locale;
locale = Locale.fromSubtags(
languageCode: locale.languageCode,
scriptCode: locale.scriptCode,
);
return MaterialApp(
// set locale of the terminal to supportedLocales
supportedLocales: [locale],
home: ...
);
}
}I've tested a solution where the Japanese Kanji displayed correctly on Android terminals set to Japanese.
Conversely, on Android terminals with non-Japanese language settings, Chinese Kanji were displayed, which is the expected behavior.
