Easy translation for Laravel Folio pages. This package based on mcamara/laravel-localization.

This package extends laravel-localization with these features:

• translate Folio content via files in the same folder
• check and hide unsupported locales in a language switcher
• redirect to a default locale if a page does not support current locale

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require beholdr/folio-translate

Usage

Add middleware alias in your bootstrap/app.php:

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
        $middleware->alias([
            // other middleware aliases...
            'setLocaleFromBrowser' => \Beholdr\FolioTranslate\Middleware\SetLocaleFromBrowser::class,
            'supportedLocales' => \Beholdr\FolioTranslate\Middleware\SupportedLocales::class,
        ]);

Add middlewares in your app/Providers/FolioServiceProvider.php:

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Laravel\Folio\Folio;
use Mcamara\LaravelLocalization\Facades\LaravelLocalization;

class FolioServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot(): void
    {
        $locale = LaravelLocalization::setLocale();

        Folio::path(resource_path('views/pages'))->middleware([
            '*' => [
                'localeSessionRedirect',
                'localizationRedirect',
                'supportedLocales',
            ],
        ])->uri($locale ?? '');
    }
}

Content translation

Given you have a page views/pages/index.blade.php and want to translate it to english and russian languages.

1. Call translate function in views/pages/index.blade.php file:

<?php

use function Beholdr\FolioTranslate\translate;

translate();

?>

1. Create views/pages/index-en.blade.php and views/pages/index-ru.blade.php files in the same directory with original file. Translated files should have the same prefix as the original file, for example:

views
  pages
    some-path
      filename.blade.php
      filename-en.blade.php
      filename-ru.blade.php
    index.blade.php
    index-en.blade.php
    index-ru.blade.php

1. Put your translated content in these files. They will be rendered for each corresponding locale. For example views/pages/index-en.blade.php:

<x-layouts.base title="English page">
    English content...
</x-layouts.base>

Fallback locale

You can pass an optional argument to translate function to specify default (fallback) locale: translate('en'). This locale will be used to load content if there is no translation for a current locale.

If not specified, it equals to a system APP_FALLBACK_LOCALE.

Define supported languages manually

Sometimes you need to define supported languages for page manually. It even could be non-Folio page. In this case you can use middleware supportedLocales or a helper method setSupportedLanguagesKeys.

Middleware

You can add supportedLocales middleware with a list of supported languages to any route:

Route::get('/news', NewsController::class)
    ->middleware('supportedLocales:en,ru');

In this case a page will support passed languages.

Helper method

Also you can programmatically set supported languages, using FolioTranslate::setSupportedLanguagesKeys() method:

if ($redirect = FolioTranslate::setSupportedLanguagesKeys(['ru', 'en'])) {
    return $redirect;
}

In case of absent translation for current language, setSupportedLanguagesKeys will return redirect to a default locale version.

SetLocaleFromBrowser middleware

This middleware sets application locale from a browser request (Accept-Language header).

Route::get('/endpoint', EndpointController::class)
    ->middleware('setLocaleFromBrowser');

Testing

composer test
