Laravel Translation

Library to manage Laravel translations

Installation

Require this package with composer:

composer require exolnet/laravel-translation

In Laravel 5.5, the service provider and facade will automatically get registered. For older versions of the framework, follow the steps below:

Register the service provider in config/app.php

'providers' => [
    // [...]
    Exolnet\Translation\TranslationServiceProvider::class,
],

To make sure the routing system is using the one supporting the translation you must edit your app/Http/Kernel.php to add the usage of the custom user dispatcher

use \Exolnet\Translation\Traits\CustomRouterDispatcher;

Now you're ready to start using the translation in your application.

Config

Config Files

In order to edit the default configuration (where for e.g. you can find available_locales) for this package you may execute:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Exolnet\Translation\TranslationServiceProvider"

After that, config/translation.php will be created. Inside this file you will find all the fields that can be edited in this package.

Usage

Exolnet Translation uses the URL given for the request. In order to achieve this purpose, a route group should be added into the routes/web.php file. It will filter all pages that must be localized.

// routes/web.php

Route::groupLocales(function () {
    Route::get('/', ['as' => 'home', 'uses' => 'HomeController@index']);
});

Once this route group is added to the routes file, a user can access all locales added into available_locales. For example, a user can now access two different locales, using the following addresses:

http://url-to-laravel/en
http://url-to-laravel/fr

If you when to remove the locale prefix on the base locale you need to set the $avoidPrefixOnBaseLocale to true when defining the groupLocale

// routes/web.php

Route::groupLocales(function () {
    Route::get('/', ['as' => 'home', 'uses' => 'HomeController@index']);
}, null, true);

Testing

To run the phpUnit tests, please use:

composer test
