Laravel Polyglot
Switch between multiple languages on your Laravel application, the easy way.
Notes
- The tests suite can be found here
Requirements
- PHP 7.1+
- Laravel 5.8+ (it should run fine on previous versions too)
Installation
composer require benjamincrozat/laravel-polyglot
Publish the config file and edit it to your convenience (see the available drivers):
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="BC\Laravel\Polyglot\PolyglotServiceProvider" --tag=polyglot-config
Once it's done, register Laravel Polyglot's service provider before RouteServiceProvider in config/app.php:
'providers' => [ ... BC\Laravel\Polyglot\PolyglotServiceProvider::class, App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider::class, ... ]
Then, go to app/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php and add the prefix() method in case you are using the directories driver. If you're not, the prefix won't have any effect.
protected function mapWebRoutes() { Route::prefix(\Polyglot::prefix()) ->middleware('web') ->namespace($this->namespace) ->group(base_path('routes/web.php')); }
Show a language switcher
Laravel Polyglot provides a basic language switcher that you can include in your Blade templates.
@include('polyglot::switcher')
