Language

The default language used by boilerplate is the global application language declared as locale in config/app.php.

You can define another default language for the admin panel by setting the default parameter in config/boilerplate/locale.php. To not breaking older version of Boilerplate, the parameter locale in config/boilerplate/app.php is used priorly if exists.

You can activate a language switch by setting to true the switch parameter in config/boilerplate/locale.php. A language selector will so be shown on the login page and in the top bar. Select allowed switchable languages by setting the allowed parameter in config/boilerplate/locale.php

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.

See locale.php configuration file

Add a new language

To add a new language run the following command : php artisan vendor:publish --tag=boilerplate-lang.

After running the command, you will find translations folders into resources/lang/vendor/boilerplate. Copy one of the language folder to the destination language you want to add.

When your files are all translated, add the language to languages in the file config/boilerplate/locale.php

To add the language to the language switch, you have to add it to the allowed array in the file config/boilerplate/locale.php
