README
Laravel AutoTranslate is a package that automates the process of collecting translation keys throughout your Laravel project and organizing them into the appropriate translation files. This tool simplifies multilingual development by ensuring that all translation keys are efficiently managed and up-to-date.
Installation
You can install the package via Composer:
composer require ahmedessam/laravel-autotranslate
Usage
Step 1: Publish Translation Files
Before running the AutoTranslate command, you must publish the translation files using Laravel's built-in command:
php artisan lang:publish
This will create the necessary language files in your lang directory.
Step 2: Synchronize Translation Keys
Once the translation files are published, you can run the AutoTranslate command to automatically collect and organize translation keys:
php artisan sync:translations
This command will scan your entire Laravel project for translation keys and ensure they are properly placed in the corresponding translation files.
Configuration
The AutoTranslate package provides a configuration file that allows you to customize the behavior of the translation synchronization process. You can publish the configuration file using the following command:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=autotranslate-config
This will create a config file named autotranslate.php
in your config
directory. The configuration file contains the following options:
- reset_patterns: If set to true, only your extra patterns will be used. If set to false, both the default and extra patterns will be used.
- patterns: An array of extra patterns to search for translation keys in PHP files. You can add your own patterns to capture translation keys in different formats.
Custom Patterns
You can define custom patterns to search for translation keys in PHP files. To add a custom pattern, simply add it to the patterns
array in the autotranslate.php
configuration file. Each pattern should be a regular expression that captures the translation key.
Here is an example of adding a custom pattern to capture translation keys in the format trans('key')
:
'patterns' => [ '/trans\([\'\"](.*?)[\'\"]\)/', ],
This pattern will capture translation keys in the format trans('key')
and extract the key value.
Custom Directories
By default, the AutoTranslate package scans the default Laravel directories for translation keys. If you have additional directories that contain translation keys, you can specify them in the directories
array in the autotranslate.php
configuration file.
Here is an example of adding a custom directory to search for translation keys:
'directories' => [ 'custom_directory', ],
This will include the custom_directory
in the search for translation keys and remove the default Laravel directories.
Directories to save translations
By default, the AutoTranslate package saves the translation keys in the resources/lang
directory. If you want to save the translation keys in a different directory, you can specify the directory in the default_directory
option in the autotranslate.php
configuration file.
Here is an example of saving the translation keys in a custom directory named custom_lang
:
'default_directory' => 'custom_lang',
This will save the translation keys in the custom_lang
directory instead of the default lang
directory.
