Documentation

There are two terms used throughout this package - Localization and Translation, let's describe the difference:

Localization

We use localization for localized value of entity key. For example used like this:

{{-- Original value --}}
{{ $page->meta_title }}

{{-- Localized value --}}
@localize($page, 'meta_title')

Translation

Translation refers to original translation feature of Laravel and does not need any special markup. Special admin screen to manage translations is provided.

trans('platform/pages::common.title')

Localize entity field

Register new localized entity

// Register new localized entity
$this->app['sanatorium.localization.localized']->localize(
    'Platform\Menus\Models\Menu'
);

Localize entity field

@localize($entity, 'field')

Translate strings

General app and package language strings can be changed from

/resources/langs/override/{LOCALE}
/resources/langs/override/{VENDOR}/{PACKAGE}/{LOCALE}

These language strings are managed from

/admin/localization/translations

Languages
