Translation

Package for static and dynamic translation within Laravel projects

Installation

Require the translation package

composer require bluemountainteam/translation

Add the service provider to your config/app.php config file

'BlueMountainTeam\Translation\TranslationServiceProvider',

Add the facade to your aliases in your config/app.php config file

'translationlib' => 'BlueMountainTeam\Translation\Facades\Translation',

Publish the migrations

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

Run the migrations

php artisan migrate

Usage

Anywhere in your application, either use the the shorthand function

_t('Translate me!')

Translatable Models

If you want your models to handle multiple dynamic translations use the Translatable trait

use BlueMountainTeam\Translation\Traits\TranslatableModel;

use TranslatableModel;

MyModel::pluckTrad();

Routes

Include inside your app/Http/Kernel.php file, insert the translation middleware:

protected $middlewareGroups = [
        'web' => [
            \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
            ...
            \BlueMountainTeam\Translation\Middlewares\TranslationMiddleware::class,

Now, in your app/Http/routes.php use prefix

Route::group(['prefix' => Translation::getRoutePrefix()], function()
{
    Route::get('home', function ()
    {
        return view('home');
    });
});

You should now be able to access routes such as:

http://localhost/home
http://localhost/en/home
http://localhost/fr/home
