Laravel Localization

1. Creae translation files: resources/lang/{fr.json, ru.json}
2. Create blade with message 'Welcome to our website':resources/views/welcome.blade.php
3. Change the message to: {{ __('Welcome to our website') }}
4. Add this code to config/app.php
   

   'available_locales' => [
'English' => 'en',
'Russian' => 'ru',
'French' => 'fr',
],

5. File resources/lang/ru.json, add the following code
   

   { "Welcome to our website": "Добро пожаловать на наш сайт" }

6. Crate Route like:
   

   Route::get('/{locale?}', function ($locale = null) {
if (isset($locale) && in_array($locale, config('app.available_locales'))) {
app()->setLocale($locale);
}

return view('welcome');
});

7. Visite: localhost/ru. Done!
8. Create Middleware:
   

   <?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\App;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session;
class Localization
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @param \Closure $next
* @return mixed
*/
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
if (Session::has('locale')) {
App::setLocale(Session::get('locale'));
}
return $next($request);
}
}

9. Add '\App\Http\Middleware\Localization::class,' to web under $middlewareGroups of app/http/Kernel.php
10. Add the following route:
    

    Route::get('language/{locale}', function ($locale) {
app()->setLocale($locale);
session()->put('locale', $locale);
return redirect()->back();
});

    Also change the previous route to:

    Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
});

11. File app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php add the following code:
    

    public function boot()
{
view()->composer('partials.language_switcher', function ($view) {
$view->with('current_locale', app()->getLocale());
$view->with('available_locales', config('app.available_locales'));
});
}

12. Done!
