Usage

You can use the Laravel standard trans-function.

trans('header.login');

will return the value of the string id header.login.
However if the string id for header.login does not exists it will return header.login.

trans('header.welcome_back', [
  'username' => 'Mark',
])

Will return the value of the string id header.welcome_back, but will replace :username with Mark in the translation. However if the string id for header.welcome_back does not exists it will return header.welcome_back.

trans([
  'key' => 'header.hello_world',
  'string' => 'Hello World!',
])

Will return the value of the string id header.hello_world. However if the string id for header.hello_world does not exists it will return Hello World!.

trans([
  'key' => 'header.hello_user',
  'string' => 'Hello :username!',
], [
  'username' => 'Mark',
])

Will return the value of the string id header.hello_user, but will replace :username with Mark in the translation. However if the string id for header.hello_user does not exists it will return Hello Mark!.

trans([
  'key' => 'header.download',
  'string' => 'You should download our iOS app!',
  'platform' => 'ios',
])

Will return the value of the string id header.download, but for the platorm ios. However if the string id for header.download does not exists it will return You should download our iOS app!.

trans([
  'key' => 'footer.copyright',
  'string' => 'Copyright 2016 Novasa',
  'comment' => 'A comment that you would like to show at the Language Center.',
])

Will return the value of the string id footer.copyright. However if the string id for footer.copyright does not exists it will return Copyright 2016 Novasa. This will also add a comment to the Language Center.

Note

If a translation does not exists it will automatically be created at the Language Center.

Also please note that the locale and local_fallback in the Laravel configurations are overwritten by the settings from the Language Center.
