Some Language Import/Export tools for Laravel

Laravel Language Utils

A language export and import command for Laravel 4. (yes, laravel 5 is coming...), _(*1)

When dealing with agencies and companies who translate programming projects and websites into other languages, they often request it in certain formats., _(*2)

• Currently works with csv only

Installation

Add the following to your composer.json's require object:, _(*3)

"tlr/laravel-lang-tools": "1.x", _(*4)

Then, add Tlr\LaravelLangTools\LaravelLangToolsServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php., _(*5)

Usage

The package provides two CLI commands:, _(*6)

artisan lang:export

Running php artisan lang:export will display the current lang tokens, and all of their translations in a table in the terminal - in a similar manner to viewing laravel's routes., _(*7)

Running php artisan lang:export --format csv > translations.csv will save a csv of all of the translations, and their keys, to a csv file. This can be sent to translators., _(*8)

artisan lang:import

Running php artisan lang:import translations.csv will convert a csv file (in the same format as the one outputted) into a laravel-style lang directory structure, with lang.php files in. At the moment, the path to the provided file must be relative to the project directory., _(*9)

By default, the output is saved to a directory called lang in your project's root directory. You can pass a relative path as a third argument to change this. The target directory must not already exist., _(*10)

Notes for translators

You may want to give translators some notes from laravel's localization docs page - especially regarding variables, and pluralisation., _(*11)
