        // ...

        'laratrans' => \CoreCave\Laratrans\Middleware\Locale::class,
    ];

Put your database credentials to your .env file

Then you should migrate the database

php artisan migrate

Usage

After you have installed laratrans package you need to add the MasterTranslatable and DetailsTranslatable traits to your models that you want to make localizable. Additionaly,
NOTE:- Please note that slave model must be proceeded with underscore _ and its related table must be proceeded by double underscore __ (e.g. Person => _Person , people => __people)
Then, define the fields required by the package for localization to work properly on your migration:

//app\Person.php

<?php

namespace App;

use CoreCave\Laratrans\Translation\MasterTranslatable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Person extends Model
{
    use MasterTranslatable;
}

//app\_Person.php

<?php

namespace App;

use CoreCave\Laratrans\Translation\DetailsTranslatable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class _Person extends Model
{
    use DetailsTranslatable;
}

If you need to specify a different foreign key name for your model, just override getForeignKeyName on MasterTranslatable trait.

//database\migrations\2020_07_06_185838_create_people_table.php

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreatePeopleTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('people', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->integer('age');
            $table->float('hight');
            $table->float('weight');
            $table->timestamps();
        });

        Schema::create('__people', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('name');
            $table->mediumText('bio');
            $table->integer('person_id');
            $table->integer('locale_id');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('people');
        Schema::dropIfExists('__people');
    }
}

Then, setup some models, migrations, factories and seeders for locales, people and __people tables or just you can publish them for faster development:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laratrans"

If you want to see localization in action, just setup some dummy routes in your routes/web.php)file.

// routes/web.php

use App\Person;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::get('/', function () {
    return Person::first()->trans();
});

Route::get('/ar', function () {
    return Person::first()->trans('ar');
});

Route::middleware('laratrans:web')->get('/trans', function () {
    return Person::first()->trans();
});

Change Application Locale.

To change your application localication code. Issue a GET request to http://yourdomain.com/localize/web/en.

This route is constructed as http://yourdomain.com/localize/{guard}/{locale-code}
