README

Laravel AutoTranslator is a simple Laravel package to automate translating your language files — ideal for bilingual projects like Arabic/English.

It scans your code for translation keys, fills in missing entries in lang/en.json, and auto-translates them into Arabic (lang/ar.json) using MyMemory or DeepL.

Features

• Scans Blade and PHP files for __() and @lang() keys
• Auto-generates lang/en.json and lang/ar.json
• Uses MyMemory by default (free, no API key)
• Fallback support for DeepL (requires API key, 500k characters/month free)
• Works with just two Artisan commands

Installation

composer require ibrahimamasha/autotranslator

Configuration (Optional)

Publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config

Example config/autotranslator.php:

return [
    'source' => 'en',
    'target' => 'ar',
    'driver' => 'mymemory', // default: free, no key needed

    'mymemory' => [
        'email' => env('MYMEMORY_EMAIL'),
        'key' => env('MYMEMORY_KEY'),
    ],

    'deepl' => [
        'key' => env('DEEPL_KEY'), // required if using DeepL
    ],
];

MyMemory is the default driver and works without an API key.
DeepL offers more accurate results, but requires an API key (500,000 free characters/month).

Usage

1. Create translation files

php artisan translate:setup

2. Scan and translate

php artisan translate:scan

Example

For this code:

__('Dashboard')
@lang('No messages yet')

The package generates:

{
  "Dashboard": "Dashboard",
  "No messages yet": "No messages yet"
}

{
  "Dashboard": "لوحة التحكم",
  "No messages yet": "لا توجد رسائل بعد"
}
