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
