Laravel / AdminLTE 3 Boilerplate

# locale.php

The config/boilerplate/locale.php file allows to define the language options of the application.

return [
    'default' => config('app.locale'),
    'switch' => false,
    'allowed' => ['en', 'es', 'fa', 'fr', 'it', 'tr'],
    'languages' => [
        'en' => ['label' => 'English', 'datatable' => 'English'],
        'es' => ['label' => 'Español', 'datatable' => 'Spanish'],
        'fa' => ['label' => 'فارسی', 'datatable' => 'Persian'],
        'fr' => ['label' => 'Français', 'datatable' => 'French'],
        'it' => ['label' => 'Italiano', 'datatable' => 'Italian'],
        'tr' => ['label' => 'Türkçe', 'datatable' => 'Turkish'],
    ],
];

# default

The default parameter allows you to define the language used in the back office.

This makes possible to use a different language from the general language of the application, to work with your developments it will then be necessary to define the boilerplatelocale middleware on your routes.

The boilerplatelocale middleware will replace default application locale by the locale set in the boilerplate's configuration file.

See Laravel documentation (opens new window) on assigning middleware to routes.

To not breaking older version of Boilerplate, the parameter locale in config/boilerplate/app.php is used priorly if exists.

The default value is config('app.locale')

# switch

The switcher parameter allows you to display a language switch on the login view and to the top bar.

The default value is false

# allowed

The allowed array allows you to define which languages are visible in the language switch.

# languages

The languages array lists all available languages.

For each language you will find a label value that is used for the language switch and a datatable value to load the language file for datatables.

The datatable value must match the name of the translation file of the i18n plugin for datatables, see the datatables i18n plugin documentation (opens new window)
