…n readers
A message row conveyed its sender and direction only visually — through row
alignment and bubble color — so a screen reader announced the content and
nothing about who sent it. A deleted message was worse: there was no way to
tell whether you or someone else had deleted it.
Each row is now exposed as one labelled node reading "You said, <body>,
<time>" / "<name> said, <body>, <time>", with the deleted placeholder phrased
without the "said" ("You, Message deleted") since the sender never authored
it. The body comes from the existing AccessibleMessagePreviewFormatter, so
attachment-only, poll, location and deleted messages are all covered and a
consumer's custom formatter still applies.
The label is a non-container Semantics annotation with explicitChildNodes
placed inside the row's PlatformWidgetBuilder: it merges into the row's own
tappable node on mobile and forms that node itself on desktop and web, giving
exactly one labelled stop either way, while the attachments, reaction chips,
quoted message, replies row and sending status stay individually focusable.
The fragments the label now speaks — message text, deleted placeholder,
footer username, timestamp and edited marker — are wrapped in
ExcludeSemantics so they are not announced twice.
Trade-off: excluding the message-text subtree removes the per-span semantic
nodes Flutter creates for inline markdown links and mentions, so those can no
longer be activated by a screen reader. Their text is still read as part of
the row label. The SwiftUI, Android and React Native SDKs all collapse the
message text the same way.
Adds a public `semanticsLabel` on StreamMessageItem / StreamMessageItemProps
to replace the composed label, and four AccessibilityTranslations strings with
native implementations for all 11 supported locales.
Resolves FLU-592, FLU-593.

…ivider Device testing surfaced two things the first pass got wrong. The delivery status was a focus stop of its own, so a screen reader user had to step through a bare "Read" tick to get past a message. It is now appended to the composed row phrase and the icon is excluded from the semantics tree, so an own text message is a single stop: "You said, Hello, Today at 3:00 PM, Sent". All three sibling SDKs do this — SwiftUI hides the indicator and folds the status into the bubble label, Android merges the icon's leaf description into the merged row, React Native splices it into the grouped footer element. StreamDateDivider announced a clock time it never displays: showing "Yesterday", it announced "Yesterday at 1:06 PM", because StreamTimestamp falls back to formatRecentDateTime. It now announces the date as shown, and is marked a header so days can be jumped between. SwiftUI and Android both announce the date only and both mark the separator a heading; React Native announces the date only without the header role. A deleted message no longer announces a time or a status either: it renders no footer, so neither is on screen. This is a deliberate divergence — the other three SDKs do announce a time for deleted messages, but they also still render a footer for them, so their announcement matches their UI as ours now matches ours. Traversal order and the attachment tiles are unchanged: measured, the row summary is already announced before its parts, and each tile stays reachable one level deeper, which is the model Android documents and enforces. What is still missing is labels on those tiles — the image and gallery attachment widgets emit no semantics at all, so a tile announces nothing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… readers Image, video, GIF and gallery attachments in the message list carried no semantics at all. The tiles were focus stops — they open a preview on tap — but announced nothing, so a screen-reader user stepping through a message with photos heard a run of silent stops. Each tile now announces its type, reusing the labels the composer previews already use, and within a gallery its position: "Photo, 2 of 5". The position is what makes otherwise identical thumbnails tellable apart. The "+N" overflow badge is excluded from the semantics tree — the tiles' "of 5" already says the gallery holds more than it shows, so the badge would only add a stop reading "plus 2". Grounded in the sibling SDKs, which all label their tiles: SwiftUI announces "Attachment 1. Image from Yoda, sent at 18:45. Activate to open."; Android uses a leaf "Image attachment" description with an "Open attachment" click label; React Native uses "Gallery image" with a "Double tap to open" hint. None of the three announces a total, and SwiftUI's overflow badge is unlabelled — the "of N" is ours. Voice recordings, files and link previews are untouched: they render their own text or interactive controls and already announce something. Adds `attachmentPositionLabel` with native implementations for all 11 locales. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The deleted branch of StreamMessageContent returned the placeholder bubble on its own, dropping the header and footer slots the caller passes in. The design shows a deleted message with its delivery status and timestamp below the placeholder, exactly like any other message (Figma node 6371-306190, "Mobile / Message Container – Outgoing", whose message stack contains the bubble plus a "Message Container / Delivery Status" instance). Both slots are now wired through, so the metadata is back on screen. The screen-reader phrase follows: it announces the time and the status again, which also puts us back in line with the other SDKs — SwiftUI announces "You, Message deleted, at 6:45 PM", and Android and React Native both render a footer for deleted messages too. This supersedes the earlier decision to drop the time from the announcement. That was made to match what was rendered; the rendering was the bug. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A message that was edited and then deleted showed "Message deleted • Edited", describing history the reader can no longer see. The marker is now suppressed in the footer, in the composed screen-reader phrase that mirrors it, and in the metadata-visibility default — an invisible marker should not force the footer visible on a stacked message. Both sibling SDKs do the same: SwiftUI guards the label with `&& !message.isDeleted` (MessageListHelperViews.swift:83) and Android with `message.messageTextUpdatedAt != null && !message.isDeleted()` (MessageFooter.kt:81). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The quoted-message preview announced only the quoted author's name — "Han
Solo" — leaving a screen-reader user to guess why that name was there and
whose message was being replied to. It now announces the relationship the
preview stands for, merged with the quoted body into one phrase:
"Han Solo replied to your message, are we still meeting tomorrow"
"You replied to Leia Organa's message, are we still meeting tomorrow"
This follows Android, which is the only sibling SDK that does this properly —
`QuotedMessage.kt:154-178` picks between `..._replied_to_your_message` and
`..._replied_to_their_message` on whether the *quoted* message is the current
user's, and substitutes "You" for the replier when that is the current user.
The same four-way matrix is implemented here. SwiftUI reads its visible
composer-phrased title ("Reply to Alice") and never says whose message it was;
React Native announces the title only and drops the quoted body entirely.
`StreamQuotedMessageProps` gains `replyMessage`, the message doing the
quoting — the preview needs it to name the replier. It is optional: without it
the preview announces the author's name as before, so a consumer building the
widget directly is unaffected.
Adds `repliedToOwnMessageLabel` / `repliedToMessageLabel`, with native
implementations for all 11 locales. Both names are parameters so each locale
forms the possessive itself.

Six bullets across two files described one piece of work. Replaced with a single entry about the message-list screen-reader improvements, naming the two new public parameters, and one grouped entry for the new localization strings. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
While attachments upload, StreamMessageSendingStatus shows a progress count
("Uploaded 1 of 2 …") in place of a tick. Excluding that footer from the
semantics tree flattened it to the generic "Sending" in the row phrase, losing
progress a sighted reader can see. The phrase now mirrors the footer exactly,
same as it already does for the sent/delivered/read ticks.
Not added: upload state on the individual attachment tiles. Neither sibling SDK
puts it there — Android's tile description is a pure function of the media type
(MediaAttachmentContent.kt:470-490) and SwiftUI's formatter has no upload-state
input at all (its three metadata structs carry no state field), so a tile reads
identically whether it is sent, mid-upload, or failed. Keeping the state on the
message, where it is computed once, also avoids re-deriving it per tile.

changed the title
A failed message announced nothing about the failure. StreamSendingIndicator has no failed branch, so the footer shows no tick, and the failure is conveyed by an error badge on the bubble — a bare exclamation icon with no text of its own. A screen-reader user heard a message identical to any other and had no way to learn it never went out. The row phrase now ends with "Message failed to send" in place of a delivery status, on the same condition that shows the badge (a failed send or a moderation bounce). The wording is the phrase both sibling SDKs use, though neither reaches it from the message list: Android's `..._semantics_message_status_failed` is gated out of the footer by `shouldShowMessageStatusIndicator()`, and SwiftUI has no failed status at all — `MessageViewModel.swift:255-266` collapses `.pending` and `.failed` into "sent", announcing a failed message as sent. Adds `messageFailedStatusLabel`, with native implementations for all 11 locales. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…and-direction Three conflicts, all with the message-translations feature (#2870): - `stream_message_content.dart` — master added `showTranslatedText` to the `StreamMessageText` call this branch had wrapped in `ExcludeSemantics`. Kept both: the wrapper and the new argument. - `stream_message_content_test.dart` — master dropped the `stream_message_content.dart` import, now that the barrel exports it. Took master's removal and kept only this branch's `stream_message_deleted.dart` import, which the barrel does not export. - `stream_chat_localizations/CHANGELOG.md` — both sides added an `✅ Added` bullet. Kept both, master's first. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The message-translations feature merged from master lets the reader toggle a translated message back to its original text, and can be disabled entirely by configuration. The composed row phrase ignored both and always announced the translation, so a reader who toggled to the original heard text that was no longer on screen. The phrase now resolves the text the same way `StreamMessageText` does — the translation only when one is actually shown — so it follows the toggle. The translation annotation itself needs nothing: it is an interactive `StreamMessageAnnotation`, so it is already a focus stop of its own announcing "Translated from German" and "Show original". Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Reading it, it is not obvious that the bare body is right for a deleted message. It is: the formatter already returns "Message deleted" as the body, so the announcement stays complete and only loses the attribution there is no name for. Noted too that `User.name` falls back to the user id, which makes the branch close to unreachable. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…text The composed row phrase fell back to `'en'` when the reader had no language set, so it announced the English translation of a message whose bubble showed the original — `StreamMessageText` passes the unset language straight through, and `translate` returns the message unchanged for it. Passing the language through unchanged keeps the two in step, and leaves no default language behind in the package. The existing translation test was passing only because of that fallback: its reader had no language, so it asserted a translation the bubble would not have shown. The reader now has one, and a second case covers a reader without. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- An empty `semanticsLabel` is documented as leaving a row unlabeled, but an own message still had its delivery status appended to it, announcing a bare ", Sent". Empty now counts as having no label, like null. - The date-divider semantics tests classified dates against a live clock, so a run crossing midnight could reclassify "Today". Pinned with `withClock` and a fixed date; verified the frozen clock drives the assertion by shifting the date and watching the label change. - Norwegian `repliedToMessageLabel` said "meldingen til <name>", which can read as the message *to* that person. Changed to "meldingen fra <name>". Still wants a native-speaker pass, like the rest of the batch. - Dropped an always-matching pattern branch around the footer timestamp; `Message.createdAt` is a non-nullable getter.

`_MessageRowSemantics` compared two nullables, so a message with no author read by nobody signed in matched on `null == null` and had a delivery status appended: "no one sent this, Today at 3:00 PM, Sent". Both sides are now required to be present before their ids are compared. Every other site that makes this comparison already guards the sender first (`stream_message_footer.dart:95`, `stream_message_item.dart:718`) or compares against a non-null id, so this was the only one affected.

Master's import lint flipped from `always_use_package_imports` to `prefer_relative_imports` inside a package's own `lib/` (#2929), converting that file's self-imports to a relative block. This branch had added two more to the old package-import block. Took master's relative block and added both as relative imports: `../stream_chat.dart` and `../utils/extensions.dart`. No other file needed converting — every other `lib/` file this branch touches was either already relative after the merge or imports only other packages.

The branch order deciding whether a message reads as sending, sent, delivered or read was written out three times: once in StreamSendingIndicator to pick an icon, once in StreamMessageSendingStatus to decide between upload progress and that icon, and once again in the row announcement added by this branch. The three had already drifted — only the announcement knew about a failed or bounced send. Move both decisions onto Translations as attachmentUploadProgressLabel and messageDeliveryStatusLabel, and have all three read from there. The icon now takes its semantic label from the same call that the row announcement uses, so what a reader sees and what a screen reader hears cannot describe different states. No behaviour change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The footer and the message bubble were excluded from the semantics tree unconditionally, on the assumption that StreamMessageItem always composes a row label that speaks them. The class doc said as much and asked custom layouts to re-expose them — but the SDK contains such a layout and it was never updated: StreamGiphyEphemeralMessage builds StreamMessageFooter directly, so the giphy preview's timestamp and delivery status announced nothing at all. Passing an empty semanticsLabel, the documented way to leave a row unlabeled, silenced a message the same way. Replace the advisory contract with an enforced one. StreamMessageRowLabelScope marks a subtree whose metadata a row label already speaks, and the fragments consult it: inside one they step out of the semantics tree as before, outside one they announce themselves, since nothing else would. A row only claims the scope when it actually has a label, so the empty-label escape hatch now hands the announcement back to the parts instead of dropping it. Also records why the message text leaves the semantics tree at all. Collapsing it costs the inline link and mention spans their own nodes, so a screen reader can read a link but not activate it. That is deliberate: a focus stop per span, each repeating text the row just spoke, makes every message more tedious to move through than it makes the rare link easier to reach, and the SwiftUI and React Native SDKs collapse plain text the same way. The new tests fail on the parent commit and pass here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The row announcement tracks ChannelClientState.readStream so the delivery status it speaks stays in step with the icon in the footer. It reads that stream through a BetterStreamBuilder with no noDataBuilder, which falls back to SizedBox.shrink() when it has no event — and the builder wraps the row's child, so the whole message disappeared rather than just the status. Channel.state is null until the channel is watched, and StreamChannel renders its child during that window when showLoading is false, so an own message could render as an empty box in a supported configuration. A probe against master finds the message text; on the parent commit it finds nothing. The same pattern is used in StreamMessageSendingStatus, where losing the subtree only costs a tick icon; wrapping the row content in it is what made it harmful. Fall back to the row with its label and no status, which is what the footer shows in the same state. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The row label appended a delivery status to every own message, without consulting the resolved metadata visibility. A stacked message at the top or middle of a run hides its footer entirely, so the row announced a "Sent" that is nowhere on screen — the opposite of the rule the rest of the announcement follows, that it mirrors what was rendered. Gate the status on whether the footer was actually built. The timestamp stays unconditional: it is the one piece worth announcing even when hidden, so that landing on a message in the middle of a run still tells you when it was sent. That split matches the SwiftUI SDK, whose accessibilityLabel(showsAllInfo:) always speaks the sender and time and appends the delivery status only for the message that displays it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The row label took the message text straight from the model, so a screen reader spelled out markdown syntax the bubble had already resolved. A message reading "check our docs and this now" on screen announced as check [our docs](https://getstream.io) and **this** now with the brackets, the parens and the whole URL read aloud. Every message carrying a link, bold, code or a heading was affected. Before this branch RenderParagraph announced the rendered text, so this was a regression. Resolve the text through the markdown parser and take the plain text it renders as, using the same gitHubFlavored extension set MarkdownBody defaults to. markdown was already in the dependency graph through flutter_markdown; this declares it directly, via melos.yaml. Verified on device as well as in tests: the same message now announces as "You said, Link\ncheck our docs and this now, Just now, Sent". Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…lied The quoted-message announcement built one third-person sentence and dropped the word for "you" into it when the replier was the current user. Every locale had written the template in the third person, so the substitution produced text no native speaker would write: de "Du hat auf deine Nachricht geantwortet" (must be "hast") fr "Vous a répondu au message de …" (must be "avez répondu") it "te ha risposto al tuo messaggio" (oblique subject, wrong verb) Spanish and Catalan mixed a formal subject with an informal possessive, and Korean and Hindi produced "당신님이" and "आप ने" where the pronoun should fuse with the particle. Split the pair into four labels — outgoing/incoming against the quoted message being the reader's own or someone else's — so each locale writes a complete sentence and conjugates it itself. This is the same shape the branch already uses for outgoingMessageLabel / incomingMessageLabel, and the shape Android Compose uses for its own sender descriptions. The English strings are unchanged: "You replied to your message" matches the Android Compose wording for the same case. These labels are new on this branch and unreleased, so the old pair is replaced rather than deprecated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
StreamMessageItem.semanticsLabel and StreamQuotedMessage.replyMessage are new public parameters, announced in a trailing clause of a bullet under Fixed. Someone scanning the release for new API would not find them there. Give each its own entry under Added, per the changelog policy in STYLE_GUIDE.md, and leave the Fixed bullet to describe the behaviour change it is about.

Description of the pull request
This improves the accessibility for the message listitem.
It adds the sender to the main message, and a 'sender replied to original' for quotes.
It improves the reading of attachments.
It adds header/footer for deleted message, according to the figma design, so the timestamp is also part of the screen reader.
