README

language-generator is a Laravel package that allows you to generate and translate language files from one language to another using Google Translate.

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require adiartawibawa/language-generator

Service Provider Registration

If you are using Laravel 5.5 or later, the service provider will be automatically registered. For earlier versions of Laravel, you need to manually add the service provider in your config/app.php file:

'providers' => [
    // Other service providers...
    Adiartawibawa\LanguageGenerator\LanguageGeneratorServiceProvider::class,
],

Configuration

To publish the configuration file, run the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Adiartawibawa\LanguageGenerator\LanguageGeneratorServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This will create a language-generator.php configuration file in your config directory. You can customize the configuration as needed.

Usage

Once the package is installed and configured, you can use it via Artisan commands to generate and translate language files.

Commands

The package provides an Artisan command for generating and translating language files.

Generating and Translating Language Files

To generate and translate language files from one language to another, use the following command:

php artisan lang:generate {from} {to*} {--file=} {--json}

Arguments:

• {from}: The source language code.
• {to*}: The target language codes (you can specify multiple target languages).

Options:

• --file=: (Optional) Specify a particular file to translate.
• --json: (Optional) If specified, the source language file is assumed to be a JSON file.

Examples:

• Generate and translate all language files from English to Spanish and French:

  php artisan lang:generate en es fr

• Translate a specific file from English to Spanish:

  php artisan lang:generate en es --file=messages.php

• Translate a JSON file from English to Spanish:

  php artisan lang:generate en es --json

Example Workflow

1. Generating and Translating Language Files

   Generate and translate language files from English to Spanish and French:

   php artisan lang:generate en es fr

   This will create Spanish and French language files with translated strings.

2. Translating a Specific File

   Translate the messages.php file from English to Spanish:

   php artisan lang:generate en es --file=messages.php

3. Translating a JSON File

   Translate the lang/en.json file to Spanish:

   php artisan lang:generate en es --json
