JSON Fallback

Out of the box, Laravel doesn't allow fallback translations for JSON keys. For example, when you call __('Remember Me'), you get Remember Me instead of Se souvenir de moi for French fallback language.

To install, run the console command:

composer require laravel-lang/json-fallback

After this, you need to add a link to the service provider in the providers section of the config/app.php settings file:

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Translation\TranslationServiceProvider as BaseTranslationServiceProvider;
use LaravelLang\JsonFallback\TranslationServiceProvider as JsonTranslationServiceProvider;

return [
    'providers' => ServiceProvider::defaultProviders()->merge([
        // your service providers
    ])->replace([
        BaseTranslationServiceProvider::class => JsonTranslationServiceProvider::class,
    ])->toArray(),
];

Now JSON keys will correctly output the value based on the selected localization.
