Laravel 5 6 7 Adding multi-language functionality in a website developed
So...here we go!
First of all, I assume that you already have a working version of laravel. Navigate to that particular folder and open your terminal or command prompt.
Run the following command in order to create the required middleware.
php artisan make:middleware Localization
Then open it. The file should be in "project_name/app/Http/Middleware/Localization.php"
Update the code that is present with the one below :
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
if(\Session::has('locale'))
{
\App::setlocale(\Session::get('locale'));
}
return $next($request);
}
Lets say you want your website to be in English and French.
Go to "project_name/resources/lang/en/"
Create a file name "messages.php"
Create folder "fr" in "project_name/resources/lang/"
Create a file name "messages.php" in "project_name/resources/lang/fr/"
Open "messages.php" in both folder and insert the following codes.
"messages.php" in 'en' folder.
return [
'welcome' => 'Welcome to our application'
];
"messages.php" in 'fr' folder.
return [
'welcome' => 'Bienvenue sur notre application'
];
Most important...
Add the below codes in "project_name/app/Http/Kernel.php" in "protected $middlewareGroups section".
\App\Http\Middleware\Localization::class,
So your codes should be like this :
protected $middlewareGroups = [
'web' => [
\App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
\Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
// \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\AuthenticateSession::class,
\Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
\Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\Localization::class,
],
'api' => [
'throttle:60,1',
'bindings',
],
];
Now all this code in the route, "project_name/routes/web.php" on top of other defined routes.
Route::get('locale/{locale}', function ($locale){
Session::put('locale', $locale);
return redirect()->back();
});
So in order to know the language that is being use, you can simply use :
<html lang="{{ app()->getLocale() }}">
Changing language en/fr
To change the language, just create an anchor tag in html like the following :
<li><a href="{{ url('locale/en') }}" ><i class="fa fa-language"></i> EN</a></li>
<li><a href="{{ url('locale/fr') }}" ><i class="fa fa-language"></i> FR</a></li>
To call the desired text :
<h1>{{ __('messages.welcome') }}</h1>
