You can use PopUpMenuButton inside AppBar action. The functionality is achieved in my example code below. You can paste it in your main.dart file and run.

Working code:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: new ThemeData(
    
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: new MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Hello World'),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);


  final String title;

  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => new _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  var language = 'english';

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Scaffold(
      appBar: new AppBar(title: new Text(widget.title), actions: <Widget>[
        PopupMenuButton(
          child: Row(
            children: [
              Text('$language | '),
              Icon(
                Icons.keyboard_arrow_down,
                color: Colors.white,
              )
            ],
          ),
          onSelected: (value) {
            setState(() {
              language = value;
            });

            print(value);
          },
          itemBuilder: (_) {
            return [
              PopupMenuItem(
                  value: '',
                  child: Column(
                    children: [
                      Row(
                        mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween,
                        children: [
                          Text(
