Support translation of "map of Strings"

[emersonsiega]

My app needs to translate a list of strings (a list of countries), and I can't find a way to do that using the yaml file.

My suggestion is to add this capability to i18n. Just a way to create a setting like:

countries: 
   - BR: Brasil
   - SG: Senegal
   - VE: Venezuela

so this list can be converted to a Map of Strings.

This way I can get the correct translation based on the country key
country['BR']

Right now, I find a workaround to this situation:

Declare:

countries: "{
      'BR': 'Brasil',
      'ET': 'Etiópia',
      'SG': 'Senegal',
      'VE': 'Venezuela',
      'ZA': 'Zâmbia'
    }"

Generated .dart file:

String get countries => "{ 'BR': 'Brasil', 'ET': 'Etiópia', 'SG': 'Senegal', 'VE': 'Venezuela', 'ZA': 'Zâmbia' }";

So, in order to work, I need to replace the ' to \" and then I can convert this "json".

Map countries = jsonDecode( I18n.messages.app.countries.replaceAll("'", "\"") );
return countries[country.abbreviation];
