Translation manager for Laravel 5

Translation manager for Laravel 5

, _(*1)

Managing translations can be a pain, switching between different language files, adding new strings, keeping everything in sync and removing translations which are no longer being used., _(*2)

But that's in the past if you install this package!, _(*3)

Features

Lets take a look at all the features included in this package., _(*4)

Adding new translations

To add a new translation you need to open your terminal, and run the following command:, _(*5)

php artisan translate:add [--bench[="..."]] [--no-entities] <group> <line>, _(*6)

So for a example: php artisan translate:add profile first_name, _(*7)

, _(*8)

As you can see, you will get the blade syntax returned so you can copy and paste it to your view. Adding variables to your string will result in a different syntax: php artisan translate:add profile texts.introduction, _(*9)

, _(*10)

Translation files are dynamically generated in alphabetical order and equally spaced., _(*11)

, _(*12)

Removing translations

To remove translations you can use the remove command which has the same syntax as the add command:, _(*13)

php artisan translate:remove account upgrade, _(*14)

, _(*15)

Clean up

The clean up command will search your files for language strings which are no longer used., _(*16)

php artisan translate:cleanup, _(*17)

, _(*18)

Foreach line that was not found, you will get a confirmation if you want to delete the line in question. In case you you don't want to confirm each line, you can add the --silent parameter., _(*19)

php artisan translate:cleanup --silent, _(*20)

By default the clean up command will look through all your language files. In case you want to focus on one specific group, you can add the --group="account" parameter., _(*21)

php artisan translate:cleanup --group="account", _(*22)

Installation

The package can be installed via Composer by requiring the "philo/laravel-translate": "~2.0" package in your project's composer.json., _(*23)

{
    "require": {
        "laravel/framework": "5.*",
        "philo/laravel-translate": "~2.0"
    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev"
}

Next you need to add the service provider to app/config/app.php, _(*24)

'providers' => array(
    /*
     * Application Service Providers...
     */
    'Philo\Translate\TranslateServiceProvider',
)

Config

You can publish the config file in case you want to make some adjustments to the clean up command: php artisan vendor:publish, _(*25)

<?php
return array(
    'search_ignore_folders' => array('commands', 'config', 'database', 'lang', 'start', 'storage', 'tests'),
    'search_exclude_files'  => array('pagination', 'reminders', 'validation'),
    'digg_folders'          => array('app/models', 'app/views', 'app/controllers'),
);

Notes

When you start using the translation manager you need to make sure that all your translation files are in sync., _(*26)
