Working with localized content (Eloquent)

The Seiger\sLang\Models\sLangContent model now applies the current locale automatically.

• Fetch translated rows for the active locale:

  use Seiger\sLang\Models\sLangContent;
  
  $items = sLangContent::active()->get(); // locale resolved via evo()->getLocale()

• Select a specific locale explicitly:

  $items = sLangContent::lang('en')->get();

• Include template variables while keeping the locale filtering:

  $items = sLangContent::withTVs(['color', 'price'])->get();

• Combine multiple helpers:

  $items = sLangContent::lang('uk')
      ->withTVs(['color', 'price'])
      ->whereParent($parentId)
      ->active()
      ->get();

• Legacy helper is preserved for backward compatibility:

  $items = sLangContent::langAndTvs('en', ['color', 'price'])->get();

  Deprecated: langAndTvs() is deprecated since 1.0.8 and is scheduled for removal in v1.2. Use lang()->withTVs() instead.
