Configuration

• lang_key: The key where the language of the user is set

How is checked which language is used?

First it is checked whether you entered a language key and if so we try to get the language from the user (You need to use Laravel's Auth class or Sentry and the language have to be the short key, eg 'en'). If we found a valid language we use this. Second we check the "Accept-Language" Header and try to set the language with it. If both failed we use the locale set in the config., _(*8)
