paxx/gettext

Simple Gettext wrapper for Laravel. Based on netson/l4gettext.

Gettext for Laravel

This library is heavliy inspired (and partially based on) netson/l4gettext and you should really use his library instead of mine., _(*1)

I wrote this because I wanted to learn more about gettext (and package creating with laravel in general). I do not plan on supporting this library., _(*2)

Get started

First of you need to publish the configuration, _(*3)

php artisan config:publish paxx/gettext

After your changes to the config, you can go ahead and add the service provider to the list of providers in app/config/app.php:, _(*4)

'Paxx\Gettext\GettextServiceProvider'

You might need to make sure that php can write to app/lang since that is the folder where the POT-files will be placed in., _(*5)

To change locale you can then use:, _(*6)

Gettext::setLocale('sv_SE');

Just make sure that you have the locales installed on your system., _(*7)

After everything is set, you can run, _(*8)

php artisan gettext

And your translations will be extracted from the views and added to the POT-file., _(*9)
