README

Change the standard Laravel file-based translation to DB based.

Key features

1. Easy GUI for modifying translations
2. The new keys will be automatically added to the DB
3. It can easily import lang files to the DB
4. Translation is stored in the cache, and editing it automatically refreshes the cache from DB. We use cache tags, so regular file or database cache drivers doesn't work, please use memcached instead.
5. It is now showing the missing tranlations fields for each language and group. Also you can toogle views between "Show only missing translations" and "Show all translations".
6. Now you can export database to .CSV.

Installation

Below laravel 6.x use version 1.5.x, for Laravel/Lumen 6.x, 7.x use version 2.x

Require this package in your composer.json and run composer update:

"xdroidteam/translation": "1.5.*"

or run

composer require xdroidteam/translation

directly.

After updating composer, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in **config/app.php** ```php 'XdroidTeam\Translation\TranslationServiceProvider', ```
Deploy migration and config file. ```shell php artisan vendor:publish --tag=xdroidteam-translation ``` You need to run the migrations for this package. ```shell php artisan migrate ```
Add following line to your **.env** file: ``` LANGUAGES=en,hu,de ```
Import existing language files to DB: ```shell php artisan translations:import ``` or import with override existing records: ```shell php artisan translations:import --overwrite ```
Routes are added in the ServiceProvider, available at `http://yourdomain.com/translations`

You can change the route prefix in the deployed config file config/xdroidteam-translation.php. Also you can modify the middleware or exclude translation groups (excluded groups will not appear on the GUI). See the example below.

<?php

return array(

    'route' => [
        'prefix' => 'custom-translations-route',
        'middleware' => [
            'web',
            'auth',
            'custom middleware',
        ],
    ],

	'exclude_groups' => ['auth', 'base'],
    
    'translation_model' => '\App\Models\Translation',

);

You can use other Translation model, to overwrite methods. For example:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use XdroidTeam\Translation\Translation as XdroidTranslation;

class Translation extends XdroidTranslation
{
    public static function getLanguages(){
        // original:
        // return explode(',', env('LANGUAGES'));
		
        //custom:
        return ['en', 'hu'];
    }
}

Export

You can export your db to a .CSV file, with call this function:

XdroidTeam\Translation::exportToCSV('path/to/file');
