Laravel Translation Loader

Mgcodeur — Sat, 23 Aug 2025 11:14:48 +0000

Multilingual apps in Laravel are often a pain…

JSON files everywhere, hard to sync, conflicts in Git.

Here’s a package that makes translations as easy as database migrations.

Easily manage Laravel translations with version-controlled migration files.

Full database support — and you can still use JSON or PHP files if you want to.

🚀 Quick Start

Get up and running in three steps.

1. Install the Package

Install the package to your Laravel project:

composer require mgcodeur/laravel-translation-loader

2. Publish Assets

Publish configuration and migration files:

php artisan laravel-translation-loader:install

This generates:

config/translation-loader.php (package settings)
database/migrations/create_translations_table.php
database/migrations/create_languages_table.php
database/migrations/create_translation_migrations_table.php (table for translations migrations)

3. Run Migrations

Run the migrations:

php artisan migrate

🛠️ Creating Translation Migrations

Generate a migration to define translations:

php artisan make:translation welcome

👉 This creates a file in database/translations/:

<?php

use Mgcodeur\LaravelTranslationLoader\Translations\TranslationMigration;

return new class extends TranslationMigration
{
    public function up(): void
    {
        $this->add('en', 'welcome.title', 'Welcome to Our App');
        $this->add('fr', 'welcome.title', 'Bienvenue dans notre application');
        $this->add('es', 'welcome.title', 'Bienvenido a nuestra aplicación');
    }

    public function down(): void
    {
        $this->delete('en', 'welcome.title');
        $this->delete('fr', 'welcome.title');
        $this->delete('es', 'welcome.title');

        // or you can just do: $this->deleteAll('welcome.title');
    }
};

Apply or Revert Migrations

Run all pending translation migrations:

php artisan translation:migrate

Rollback the last migration:

php artisan translation:rollback

🎯 Usage

Access translations as you would with standard Laravel language files:

// In controllers, views, or anywhere
echo __('welcome.title'); // Outputs: "Welcome to Our App" (if en is active)

📦 Bonus Features

1. Check Migration Status

View the status of translation migrations:

php artisan translation:status

Example Output:

+-------------------------+----------+
| Migration               | Status   |
+-------------------------+----------+
| welcome                 | Migrated |
| auth                    | Pending  |
+-------------------------+----------+

2. Generate Language Files

👉 Export database translations to Laravel’s lang directory:

php artisan translation:generate

This creates files like:

lang/
├── en.json
├── fr.json
├── es.json
└── ...

💡 Customize the output path in config/translation-loader.php.

⚙️ Configuration

Customize settings in config/translation-loader.php

✨ Extra Helpers

- `addMany`

Add multiple keys at once.

$this->addMany('en', [
    'email' => 'Email',
    'password' => 'Password',
]);

$this->addMany('fr', [
    'email' => 'Email',
    'password' => 'Mot de passe',
]);

$this->addMany([
    'en' => [
        'login' => 'Login',
        'logout' => 'Logout',
    ],
    'fr' => [
        'login' => 'Se connecter',
        'logout' => 'Se déconnecter',
    ],
]);

- `update`

Update existing translations.

$this->update('en', 'welcome.title', 'Welcome to Our Awesome App');

Fallbacks

If a translation is missing, Laravel will fall back to the default language defined in your config/app.php.

❓ FAQ

Q: Can I use this with existing JSON/PHP translation files?

A: Yes! The package works alongside file-based translations.

Q: How does caching work?

A: Translations are cached. Automatically cleared when migrations are applied or rolled back.

Convert all money from one

You can convert all money from one currency when you don't specify the to method.

$convertedAmount = CurrencyConverter::convert(5)
            ->from('EUR')

            ->from('USD')
            ->to('EUR')
