Flutter Cubit Not Updating UI for Language Change

I’m encountering an issue with Cubit in Flutter. In my main.dart, I have initialized three providers: one for language, one for theme, and one for connectivity. Everything seems to be set up correctly, and I’m able to change the theme without any problems. However, when I try to change the language by executing context.read<LanguageCubit>().changeLanguage(LANGUAGE.tr.name); from the home screen, the language value changes internally but the UI does not update to reflect this change. This issue seems to be specific to the language Cubit; the theme changes are reflected on the UI as expected. What could be causing the language changes not to trigger a UI update?

Main.dart

  void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  await EasyLocalization.ensureInitialized();
  await SystemChrome.setPreferredOrientations(
    [DeviceOrientation.portraitUp],
  );

  final appRouter = AppRouter(); 
  runApp(
    EasyLocalization(
      supportedLocales: [
        Locale(LANGUAGE.en.name, ''),
        Locale(LANGUAGE.tr.name, ''),
      ],
      path: ApplicationConstants.LANG_ASSET_PATH,
      startLocale: Locale(LANGUAGE.tr.name, ''),
      child: MyApp(appRouter: appRouter),
    ),
  );
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({required this.appRouter, super.key});
  final AppRouter appRouter;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MultiBlocProvider(
      providers: [
        BlocProvider(create: (context) => ThemeCubit()..getSavedTheme()),
        BlocProvider(create: (context) => LanguageCubit()..getSavedLanguage()),
        BlocProvider(create: (context) => ConnectivityCubit()),
      ],
      child: Builder(
        builder: (context) {
          final languageCubit = context.watch<LanguageCubit>();
          final themeCubit = context.watch<ThemeCubit>();
          // final connectivityCubit = context.watch<ConnectivityCubit>();
          return MaterialApp.router(
            routeInformationParser: appRouter.defaultRouteParser(),
            routerDelegate: appRouter.delegate(),
            localizationsDelegates: context.localizationDelegates,
            supportedLocales: context.supportedLocales,
            locale: languageCubit.state.locale,
            theme: themeCubit.state.themeData,
            debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
            builder: CustomResponsive.build,
          );
        },
      ),
    );
  }
}

    Your state needs to extend Equatable and then you have to override props and pass there your state variables. Then, you should implement the copyWith pattern for your ChangeLanguageState to update the existent ChangeLanguageState.

    use the language code for your state.

    for ex:

    void changeLanguage(Locale locale) {
  currentLocale = locale;
  emit(LanguageChanged(locale.languageCode));
}

sealed class LocalizationState extends Equatable {
 const LocalizationState();
}

final class LanguageChanged extends LocalizationState {
 final String languageCode;

 const LanguageChanged(this.languageCode);
 @override
 List<Object> get props => [languageCode];
}

    Then use it like that:

        var localizationCubit = context.read<LocalizationCubit>();
    var currentLocale= localizationCubit.currentLocale
