Getting started

How to Localize Laravel ?

Laravel Localization Lang Files.

    "require-dev": {
        ...
        "laravel-lang/lang": "^11.0",
        "laravel-lang/publisher": "^14.1"
    },
  • Optional in update scripts (post-update-cmd) in composer.json add update languages cmd to keep them updated
    "scripts": {
        "post-update-cmd": [
            ...
            "@php artisan lang:update"
        ],
      }
  • now run php artisan lang:add {LANGUAGES} to add the lang files you need ex: php artisan lang:add ar en fr

and now, we got all lang files we need in lang\* folder for L9 or resources\lang\* for L<9.

How to localize Our Website/API? we need middleware.

  • in app\Http\Middlwares Create 3 files ( attached below )
  • in app/Http/Kernel.php add:
    • in $middlewareGroups, web section \App\Http\Middleware\WebLocalization::class
    • in $middlewareGroups, api section \App\Http\Middleware\ApiLocalization::class
    /**
     * The application's route middleware groups.
     *
     * @var array<string, array<int, class-string|string>>
     */
    protected $middlewareGroups = [
        'web' => [
            //...
            \App\Http\Middleware\WebLocalization::class,
        ],

        'api' => [
            //...
            \App\Http\Middleware\ApiLocalization::class,
        ],
    ];

Last step to tell our project which languages we support.

  • in config/app.php to support ar,en add and so on:
'available_locales' => [
        'en' => [
            'dir' => 'ltr',
            'name' => 'English',
            'native' => 'English',
            'script' => 'Latn',
            'flag_code' => 'us',
        ],
        'ar' => [
            'dir' => 'rtl',
            'name' => 'Arabic',
            'native' => 'العربية',
            'script' => 'Arab',
            'flag_code' => 'sa',
        ],
    ],

now our project is localized and knows which language to use when getting request from web and api.

  • for api they must send you Accept-Language header with language ex: ar
  • for web you can change the language just by passing ?lang=ar at the end of url

lastly our layout blade file should contain at the start of it

<!DOCTYPE html>
@php
    $lang = app()->getLocale();
    $dir = config('app.available_locales')[app()->getLocale()]['dir'] ?? 'ltr';
@endphp

<html lang="{{ $lang }}" dir="{{ $dir }}">
<!-- ... -->
</html>
