This is what the command switch:add does : - Add a default_language field in your users table - Add the markup to the layouts/app.blade.php file - Add a route in the routes/web.php file - Add a Middleware inside app\Http\Middleware - Add the middleware to the app\Http\Kernel.php - Add a LanguageController in the app\Http\Controllers directory - Add a language file to the config directory config/languages.php, _(*9)

When the user switch the language, it will automatically update the default_language field from the users table. The next time the user logs in, the language session will automatically be set by the middleware using the auth()->user()->default_language variable., _(*10)
