Description
I had originally used the basic Flutter internationalization strategy and even managed to widget test it using @remonh87 workaround (https://medium.com/flutterpub/testing-localized-widget-in-flutter-3bfa5492bc84)
But, like most people, this was just too much boilerplate and this plugin makes life much better. However, now my widget tests don't work and I am not sure how to implement a solution like @remonh87, since the underlying class is now autogenerated (which is why this is such a great tool to begin with!)
I was wondering if anyone else has been able to get widget testing using the localized strings working before I looked into doing a PR.

Research direction
Start by reviewing how the plugin's autogenerated localization class is used during Flutter widget tests, alongside the workaround linked in the issue. Reproduce the failure with localized strings and determine whether a working testing approach can be implemented or documented; done means widget tests can access the generated localized strings.
