Laravel Translation Sync

Scan your entire Laravel application for translation keys and keep every locale in sync with a single artisan command.

It walks your resources/, Livewire component classes and blade views, app/Services, and every module under a laravel-modules Modules/ tree, extracts every key used with __(), trans(), @lang() or trans_choice(), creates any missing lang/{locale}/*.php files, and adds the missing keys to every locale so nothing is left untranslated.

Requirements

• PHP ^8.2
• Laravel 11, 12 or 13

Installation

composer require mohammadtrabelsi/laravel-translation-sync

The service provider is auto-discovered, so there is nothing else to register.

Usage

php artisan translations:sync

Options

Examples

# Preview the changes without touching any files
php artisan translations:sync --dry-run

# Sync a specific set of locales, using French as the base
php artisan translations:sync --locales=fr,en,ar --base=fr

# Sync and prune keys that were deleted from the code
php artisan translations:sync --clean

How keys are grouped

Keys are grouped by their file prefix:

• __('auth.failed') → lang/{locale}/auth.php under the failed key.
• __('Hello world') (a plain string with no group) → lang/{locale}/strings.php.

For the base locale a missing key gets a human-friendly placeholder derived from the key itself (welcome_back → Welcome back). For other locales the missing value is prefixed with [TODO] and seeded from the base translation so you can easily find what still needs translating.
