Language

Multi language for Laravel 5.3+

Installations

composer require aharen/language

Configuration

Add the service provider to providers array in config/app.php

aharen\Language\LanguageServiceProvider::class,

Add the facade to aliases array in config/app.php

'Language' => 'aharen\Language\Facades\Language::class',

Run vendor:publish artisan command to publish the database migration file and the default seeder

php artisan vendor:publish

Now add the DefaultLanguageSeeder to database/DatabaseSeeder.php

$this->call(DefaultLanguageSeeder::class);

You might need to run composer dumpautoload for the seeder to start working

Optional The provided seeder will create English as the default language but you can change the seeder to any language you like.

In addition you will have to update locale and fallback_locale in config/app.php to your desired default language, since the package uses these to maintain set locale and default locale.

This will enable the use of Laravels default localization methods and directives such as 'echo trans('messages.welcome');and@lang('messages.welcome'). You can store your translations in the default resources/lang` directory.

Setup

You should add a route prefix to your routes in one of the following ways:

1. In your routes file to the route group

    Route::group(['prefix' => \App::getLocale()], function () {
      // your routes here
    });
   

2. Or you can modify mapWebRoutes() method in App\RouteServiceProvider as follows:

    Route::group([
        'middleware' => 'web',
        'namespace'  => $this->namespace,
        'prefix'     => \App::getLocale(),
    ], function ($router) {
        require base_path('routes/web.php');
    });
