Configuration | Laravel Lang

Publish

Optionally, you can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="localization"

This is the contents of the published config/localization.php file:

return [ /* * Determines what type of files to use when updating language files. * * @see https://laravel-lang.com/configuration.html#inline * * By default, `false`. */ 'inline' => (bool) env('LOCALIZATION_INLINE', env('LANG_PUBLISHER_INLINE')), /* * Do arrays need to be aligned by keys before processing arrays?

Inline

The inline option determines what type of files to use when updating language files.

true means inline files will be used.
false means that default files will be used.

For example, the difference between them can be seen here:

            The :attribute must be accepted. // default
            This field must be accepted. // inline
        

This option is available in the config/localization.php file:

return [
    'inline' => (bool) env('LOCALIZATION_INLINE', env('LANG_PUBLISHER_INLINE')),
];

Alignment

The align option defines the alignment of values relative to each other when processing localization files.

When updating files, all comments from the final files are automatically deleted. Unfortunately, var_export does not know how to work with comments.

Your file example:

return [
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Authentication Language Lines
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | The following language lines are used during authentication for various
    | messages that we need to display to the user. You are free to modify
    | these language lines according to your application's requirements.
    |
    */
    'failed'   => 'These credentials do not match our records 123456.',
    'throttle' => 'Too many login attempts. Please try again in :seconds seconds.',
    'foo'      => 'bar',
];

An updated file like this:

return [
    'failed'   => 'These credentials do not match our records 123456.',
    'throttle' => 'Too many login attempts. Please try again in :seconds seconds.',
    'foo'      => 'bar',
];

and example of validation.php file:

return [ /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Validation Language Lines |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | The following language lines contain the default error messages used by | the validator class. Some of these rules have multiple versions such | as the size rules. Feel free to tweak each of these messages here. | */ 'accepted' => 'The :attribute must be accepted.', 'active_url' => 'The :attribute is not a valid URL.', // many rules 'uuid' => 'The :attribute must be a valid UUID.', /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Custom Validation Language Lines |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Here you may specify custom validation messages for attributes using the | convention "attribute.rule" to name the lines. This makes it quick to | specify a specific custom language line for a given attribute rule. | */ 'custom' => [ 'name' => [ 'required' => 'Custom message 1', 'string' => 'Custom message 2', ], ], /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Custom Validation Attributes |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | The following language lines are used to swap our attribute placeholder | with something more reader friendly such as "E-Mail Address" instead | of "email". This simply helps us make our message more expressive. | */ 'attributes' => [ 'name' => 'Foo', 'bar' => 'Bar', 'baz' => 'Baz', ], ];

This is what it will look like after the update:

return [
    'accepted'   => 'The :attribute must be accepted.',
    'active_url' => 'The :attribute is not a valid URL.',
    'uuid'       => 'The :attribute must be a valid UUID.',
    'custom'     => [
        'name' => [
            'required' => 'Custom message 1',
            'string'   => 'Custom message 2',
        ],
    ],
    'attributes' => [
        'name' => 'Foo',
        'bar'  => 'Bar',
        'baz'  => 'Baz',
    ],
];

This option is available in the config/localization.php file:

return [
    'align' => (bool) env('LOCALIZATION_ALIGN', env('LANG_PUBLISHER_ALIGN', true)),
];

Aliases

If you want to name codes differently, such as de-DE instead of de or de-CH instead of de_CH, you can define aliases in the configuration file.

After that, all adding, updating, and deleting actions will automatically use the specified aliases in the config/localization.php config file:

use LaravelLang\LocaleList\Locale;

return [
    'aliases' => [
        Locale::German->value => 'de-DE',

        Locale::GermanSwitzerland->value => 'de-CH',
    ],
];

If the config/localization.php file already exists, then you can add the aliases key in it and specify the desired aliases using a data array.

After this, you can, for example, add new localizations by specifying both the main code and its alias:

php artisan lang:add de de_CH

Installed locales will use the specified aliases as folder names for PHP translations and file names for JSON translations:

            lang
            de-CH
            de-DE
        

This option is available in the config/localization.php file:

return [
    'aliases' => [
        // \LaravelLang\LocaleList\Locale::German->value => 'de-DE',
        // \LaravelLang\LocaleList\Locale::GermanSwitzerland->value => 'de-CH',
    ],
];

Smart Punctuation

When updating translation keys, you can also enable intelligent converts ASCII quotes, dashes, and ellipses to their Unicode.

For example:

{
    "Some": "\"It's super-configurable... you can even use additional extensions to expand its capabilities -- just like this one!\""
}

Will result in files:

{
    "Some": "“It’s super-configurable… you can even use additional extensions to expand its capabilities – just like this one!”"
}

This option is available in the config/localization.php file:

use LaravelLang\LocaleList\Locale; return [ 'smart_punctuation' => [ 'enable' => (bool) env('LOCALIZATION_SMART_ENABLED', false), 'common' => [ 'double_quote_opener' => '“', 'double_quote_closer' => '”', 'single_quote_opener' => '‘', 'single_quote_closer' => '’', ], 'locales' => [ Locale::French->value => [ 'double_quote_opener' => '« ', 'double_quote_closer' => ' »', 'single_quote_opener' => '‘', 'single_quote_closer' => '’', ], Locale::Russian->value => [ 'double_quote_opener' => '«', 'double_quote_closer' => '»', 'single_quote_opener' => '‘', 'single_quote_closer' => '’', ], Locale::Ukrainian->value => [ 'double_quote_opener' => '«', 'double_quote_closer' => '»', 'single_quote_opener' => '‘', 'single_quote_closer' => '’', ], Locale::Belarusian->value => [ 'double_quote_opener' => '«', 'double_quote_closer' => '»', 'single_quote_opener' => '‘', 'single_quote_closer' => '’', ], ], ], ];

You can also set different rules for any localization.

By default, conversion is disabled.

Routes

When using the package to work with routing, you can override the default values of key names.

This option is enabled in the config/localization.php file:

use LaravelLang\Config\Constants\RouteName;

return [
    'routes' => [
        'names' => [
            'parameter' => RouteName::Parameter,
            'header'    => RouteName::Header,
            'cookie'    => RouteName::Cookie,
            'session'   => RouteName::Session,
            'column'    => RouteName::Column,
        ],

        'name_prefix' => env('LOCALIZATION_NAME_PREFIX', 'localized.'),

        'redirect_default' => (bool) env('LOCALIZATION_REDIRECT_DEFAULT', false),
    ],
];

Models

You can define default parameter values when using the Models package.

This setting available in the config/localization.php file:

return [
    /*
     * This option defines settings for working with model translations.
     *
     * @see https://laravel-lang.com/configuration.html#models
     */

    'models' => [
        /*
         * This option specifies a suffix for models containing translations.
         *
         * For example,
         *   main model is `App\Models\Page`
         *   translation model is `App\Models\PageTranslation`
         *
         * By default, `Translation`
         */

        'suffix' => 'Translation',

        /*
         * This option specifies a folder to store helper files for the IDE.
         *
         * By default, `vendor/_laravel_lang`
         */

        'helpers' => env('VENDOR_PATH', base_path('vendor/_laravel_lang')),
    ],
];

The suffix parameter is used to specify the suffix of the models to which the translation repository belongs.

For example:

            App\Models\Post::class
            App\Models\PostTranslation::class
        

Translator

Here you can not only activate default translators, but also create your own. You can read more about this on the Translator package information page.

This setting available in the config/localization.php file:

return [
    /*
     * This option contains a list of translators that the Laravel Lang Translator project works with.
     *
     * Google Translate is enabled by default.
     *
     * @see https://laravel-lang.com/configuration.html#translators
     */

    'translators' => [
        /*
         * List of channels used for translations.
         *
         * By default,
         *
         *     Google is enabled
         *     Deepl  is disabled
         *     Yandex is disabled
         */

        'channels' => [
            'google' => [

            ],

            'deepl' => [
                'translator' => '\LaravelLang\Translator\Integrations\Deepl',

            ],

            'yandex' => [
                'translator' => '\LaravelLang\Translator\Integrations\Yandex',

                ],
            ],
        ],

        'options' => [
            /*
             * Set a custom pattern for extracting replaceable keywords from the string,
             * default to extracting words prefixed with a colon.
             *

             *
             * @example (e.g. "Hello :name" will extract "name")
             */

            'preserve_parameters' => true,
        ],
    ],
];
