Pineco.de:
Simple Eloquent Model Translations
Jan 16, 2018 @ 15:41:46

On the Pineco.de blog there's a new post for the Laravel users out there showing you a simple way to integrate translations handling into your models. This functionality allows you to more easily build multilingual applications without having some of the overhead of a separate translation framework.

Making you models translatable could be an issue, especially if you are running an application that is multilingual. For static texts, we can use the built-in translation engine, but for models, we need to solve a more complex issue. Let’s take a look at a simple yet flexible solution.

While the post starts with a recommendation to use a full package if you need a more robust system, it quickly moves into the simpler structure they'll be defining. The tutorial describes the "translation mechanism" from a high level and includes the code to create the database table for holding the translated content. With that in place, next up is the model to connect the application with the table and a trait to house the translation logic. This is then used directly in the template (as a translation property) to fetch the translated version of the content.
