README

This package provides a translation dictionary layer between a translation service and your Laravel application. The dictionary layer can be used to avoid cost and speed up reoccurring translations. When you translate text through a translation service the translation is saved to your database and will be used instead of the translation service next time you translate the same text.

Installation

Laravel

This package can be used in Laravel 5.4 or higher.

In Laravel 5.5 the service provider will automatically get registered. In older versions of the framework just add the service provider in config/app.php file:

'providers' => [
    // ...
    Sysoce\Translation\TranslationServiceProvider::class,
];

You can publish the migration with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Sysoce\Translation\TranslationServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"

After the migration has been published you can create the translations table by running the migration:

php artisan migrate

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Sysoce\Translation\TranslationServiceProvider" --tag="config"

Usage

The Client

To use this package you need to connect to a translation service. This package provides a wrapper for Google Cloud Translate out of the box. To use this translation client you need to install the Google Cloud Translate package:

composer require google/cloud-translate

Enter the path to your JSON key file obtained from the Google Cloud Console in the published config/translation.php config file or simply specify the path in your .env file:

/*
 * If the client requires a key file, enter its path below.
 */
'keyFilePath' => env('GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS', ''),

You can create a wrapper for other Translation services by implementing the Sysoce\Translation\Contracts\Client contract.

Using the translation dictionary layer

To use the translation dictionary layer

// Set source language for translation
app(Translation::class)->setSource('en');
// Set target language for translation
app(Translation::class)->setTarget('ja');

// Translate text
$translation = app(Translation::class)->translate('hello');

// Print translation (outputs 'こんにちは')
echo $translation->text

Extending

If you need to EXTEND the existing Translation model note that:

• Your Translation model needs to extend the Sysoce\Translation\Models\Translation model

If you need to REPLACE the existing Translation model you need to keep the following things in mind:

• Your Translation model needs to implement the Sysoce\Translation\Traits\HasHashIdTrait and Sysoce\Translation\Traits\TranslationTrait traits

Whether extending or replacing, you will need to specify your new model in the configuration. To do this you must update the models.translation value in the configuration file after publishing the configuration.

Testing
