Installation

Composer

From the command line run:

$ composer require torann/localization

Laravel

Once installed you need to register the service provider with the application. Open up config/app.php and find the providers key.

'providers' => [
    \Torann\Localization\LocalizationServiceProvider::class,
]

Publish the configurations

Run this on the command line from the root of your project:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Torann\Localization\LocalizationServiceProvider"

A configuration file will be published to config/localization.php.

Methods

The following methods are available:

• getDefaultLocale(): string
• getCurrentLocale(): string
• setLocale(string $locale = null): string|null
• getLocales(): array
• getLocale(string $key, mixed $default = null): mixed
• getLocaleDirection(string $locale = 'current'): string
• getLocaleKeys(): array
• getLocalizedURL(string $url = null, mixed $locale = false, array $extra = []): string
• isSupported(mixed $key): bool
• getConfig(string $key, mixed $default = null): mixed

Helpers

Laravel Localization comes with a few helper methods

localization()

Returns the Torann\Localization\LocaleManager instance.

localize_url($url = null, $locale = null, $attributes = []): string

Returns the given URL adapted to provided locale.

Determining Locale

By Subdomain

For this to work the subdomain needs to match an enabled supported locale key.

By Host

When the given subdomain is determined to not be valid the system can then set the locale depending on the current host. You'll need to set a map of your application's locales to hosts using the hosts configuration option.
