In this article, we will see how to create a multi-language website in laravel. In this example, you can understand the concept of the laravel multilingual website demo. Also, gain knowledge or learn about how to add multiple languages in laravel 7/8/9. it's a very simple example of laravel multi-language with a different list of language dropdowns.
So, let's see, a laravel multi language website example, how to translate a string in laravel 7/8/9 and laravel 7/8/9 localization example.
If you are looking for a multi language support website in laravel then we will help you how to add multiple languages in laravel. we will use laravel trans() to create a multilingual language website. Also, we will change text and messages on the change of dropdown using jquery.
In this example, I will show you localization - laravel localization example. Laravel's localization features provide a convenient way to retrieve text in different languages, allowing you to easily support multiple languages within your application. So, here I will show you how to create localization or laravel dynamic language.
So, let's follow the steps to adding multi languages website support in laravel.
We are creating a new project setup for this example. So, create a new project using the below command.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blogLaravel's localization features provide a convenient way to retrieve text in different languages, allowing you to easily support multiple languages within your application.
In this step, we will create a localization file language-wise. here we will create two files First one is for English and the Second one is for Chinese. And just copy and paste the below code into the given path and write down your custom message or value.
resources/lang/en/message.php
<?php
return [
'welcome' => 'This is a welcome message !',
];
resources/lang/zhh/message.php
<?php
return [
'welcome' => '这是一个欢迎信息 !',
];
In this step, we will create two routes one for the display view page with language dropdown and message and another for changing languages using jquery.
Now, add the below route to the web.php file.
routes/web.php
Route::get('index', '[email protected]');
Route::get('change/lang', '[email protected]_change')->name('LangChange');In this step, now we create a new controller as a LocalizationController. This controller helps to manage layouts and change language dynamically using the dropdown.
Add the below code in your terminal to create a new controller.
php artisan make:controller LocalizationControllerNow, add the below code in your LocalizationController.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App;
class LocalizationController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
return view('welcome');
}
public function lang_change(Request $request)
{
App::setLocale($request->lang);
session()->put('locale', $request->lang);
return view('welcome');
}
}
In this step, we will create a blade file to view our output.
