-Rebuilding everything requires two steps.

-1. Create or update the English and Spanish localizations,

+To update the English and Spanish localizations, modify the
+`stocks_en_US.arb`, `stocks_en.arb`, or `stocks_es.arb` files. See the
 [ARB specification](https://github.com/google/app-resource-bundle/wiki/ApplicationResourceBundleSpecification)
 for more info.
 
-2. With `examples/stocks` as the current directory, generate a
-`messages_<locale>.dart` for each `stocks_<locale>.arb` file,
-`messages_all.dart`, and `stock_strings.dart` with the following command:
-
-```dart
-dart ${FLUTTER_PATH}/dev/tools/localization/bin/gen_l10n.dart --arb-dir=lib/i18n \
-    --template-arb-file=stocks_en.arb --output-localization-file=stock_strings.dart \
-    --output-class=StockStrings --header-file=header.txt
-```
+To modify the project's configuration of the localizations tool,
+change the `l10n.yaml` file.
 
 The `StockStrings` class creates a delegate that performs message lookups
 based on the locale of the device. In this case, the stocks app supports
-`en`, `en_US`, and `es`. Thus, the `StockStringsEn` and `StockStringsEs`
-classes extends `StockStrings`. `StockStringsEnUs` extends
+`en`, `en_US`, and `es` locales. Thus, the `StockStringsEn` and
+`StockStringsEs` classes extends `StockStrings`. `StockStringsEnUs` extends
 `StockStringsEn`. This allows `StockStringsEnUs` to fall back on messages
-in `StockStringsEn`.
\ No newline at end of file
+in `StockStringsEn`.
