Deprecation note

Backpack team has just released a new package: Translation Manager. This new package uses Spatie Translation Loader and it works in a more predictable way using the database to store translations.

We highly recommend you to switch to Translation Manager.

A quick interface to edit language files, for Laravel Backpack.

Note: this interface allows the admin to directly edit the language files stored in resources/lang. Which might not be a great idea in production, if you have those files commited to git and/or use auto-deployment.

Install in Backpack v6.x

Step 1. Install via Composer

composer require backpack/langfilemanager

Step 2. Run the migration, seed and file publishing

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Backpack\LangFileManager\LangFileManagerServiceProvider" --tag="migrations" #publish the migration file
php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed --class="Backpack\LangFileManager\database\seeds\LanguageTableSeeder"
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Backpack\LangFileManager\LangFileManagerServiceProvider" --tag="config" #publish the config file
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Backpack\LangFileManager\LangFileManagerServiceProvider" --tag="lang" #publish the lang files

Step 3. Add menu items for it

Add a menu item for it in resources/views/vendor/backpack/ui/inc/menu_items.blade.php:

<x-backpack::menu-dropdown title="Translations" icon="la la-globe">
    <x-backpack::menu-dropdown-item title="Languages" icon="la la-flag-checkered" :link="backpack_url('language')" />
    <x-backpack::menu-dropdown-item title="Site texts" icon="la la-language" :link="backpack_url('language/texts')" />
</x-backpack::menu-dropdown>

Upgrading from 4.x to 5.x

You should have no problems upgrading, there have been no breaking changes. Just require the new version.

Upgrading from 3.x to 4.x

Flags are no longer supported on the Language CRUD, until version 3 admins could browse an image for the language flag, we now recommend developers to setup those images in advance, having them in a public folder like public\flags\en.svg public\flags\ro.svg.

Usage

Tell LangFileManager what langfiles NOT to show, in config/backpack/langfilemanager.php:

// Language files to NOT show in the LangFileManager
//
'language_ignore' => ['admin', 'pagination', 'reminders', 'validation', 'log', 'crud'],

Or just try at your-project-domain/admin/language/texts
