What is Laravel Localization?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Laravel Localization is a built-in feature that empowers developers to create multilingual applications effortlessly. It allows you to translate your application’s content into various languages, making your website more accessible to a global audience. By utilizing language files, you can manage translations efficiently and switch between languages dynamically. This feature is especially valuable for enhancing user experience by providing content tailored to the user\u2019s preferred language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, we\u2019ll walk you through setting up Laravel Localization with a practical example. We’ll use Laravel Breeze <\/strong>for authentication and implement localization for three languages: English (“en”), Italian (“it”), and French (“fr”). We’ll also include a language selection dropdown in the navigation bar, allowing users to switch languages seamlessly. Once a language is selected, all labels and messages on the page will update accordingly. Let’s dive into the step-by- step process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps to Implement Multi-Language Support in Laravel 11<\/u><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Install Laravel 11<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Start by installing Laravel 11. Run the following command to create a new project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

composer create-project laravel\/laravel laravel-multi-language<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Install Laravel Breeze<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Now, in this step, we will create an auth scaffold command to generate login, register, and dashboard functionalities using breeze. So, run the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laravel 11 Breeze Package:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
composer require laravel\/breeze --dev<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Generate Auth:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
php artisan breeze:install \nnpm install\nnpm run build<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Define Language Messages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In this step, we will define all three languages messages. so, first we need to run following command to use localization:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
php artisan lang:publish<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
now, let’s define messages for English(en), Italian(it) and French(fr) for language:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lang\/en\/messages.php<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<?php return [\n\n\"users\" => \"Users\", \"users_list\" => \"Users Listing\", \"dashboard\" => \"Dashboard\",\n\n\"dashboard_message\" => \"You're logged in!\"\n\n];<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Lang\/fr\/messages.php<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<?php return [\n\n\"users\" => \"Utilisatrices\",\n\n\"users_list\" => \"Liste des utilisateurs\", \"dashboard\" => \"Tableau de bord\",\n\n\"dashboard_message\" => \"Vous \u00c3\u00aates connect\u00c3\u00a9!\" ];<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Lang\/it\/messages.php<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<?php return [\n\"users\" => \"Utenti\",\n\"users_list\" => \"Elenco degli utenti\",\n\"dashboard\" => \"Pannello di controllo\", \"dashboard_message\" => \"Hai effettuato l'accesso!\"\n];<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Create SetLocale Middleware<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
php artisan make:middleware SetLocale<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
App\/Http\/Middleware\/SetLocale.php<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<?php\nnamespace App\\Http\\Middleware; use Closure;\nuse Illuminate\\Http\\Request;\nuse Symfony\\Component\\HttpFoundation\\Response; use Illuminate\\Support\\Facades\\App;\n\nclass SetLocale\n{\npublic function handle(Request $request, Closure $next): Response\n{\nif($request->session()->has('locale')){ App::setLocale($request->session()->get('locale', 'en'));\n}\nreturn $next($request);\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Next, we need to register the SetLocale middleware to the app.php file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bootstrap\/app.php<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<?php\n\nuse Illuminate\\Foundation\\Application;\n\nuse Illuminate\\Foundation\\Configuration\\Exceptions; use Illuminate\\Foundation\\Configuration\\Middleware;\n\nreturn Application::configure(basePath: dirname(  DIR  ))\n\n->withRouting(\n\nweb:  DIR .'\/..\/routes\/web.php', commands:  DIR .'\/..\/routes\/console.php', health: '\/up',\n\n)\n\n->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {\n\n$middleware->web(append: [ SetLocale::class\n\n]);\n\n})\n\n->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) {\n\n})->create();<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Create Routes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Here, We will add the following routes group where you can create new routes for users and change language. let’s update the code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Routes\/web.php<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<?php\n\nuse App\\Http\\Controllers\\ProfileController;\n\nuse App\\Http\\Controllers\\UserController;\n\nuse App\\Http\\Controllers\\LanguageController;\n\nuse Illuminate\\Support\\Facades\\Route;\n\n\n\nRoute::get('\/', function () {\n\nreturn view('welcome');\n\n});<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 6: Create Controller<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
app\/Http\/Controllers\/LanguageController.php<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<?php\n\nnamespace App\\Http\\Controllers; use Illuminate\\Http\\Request;\nuse Illuminate\\Support\\Facades\\Session;\n\n\n\nclass LanguageController extends Controller\n\n{\n\npublic function change(Request $request)\n\n{\n\n$lang = $request->lang;\n\nif (!in_array($lang, ['en', 'it', 'fr'])) { abort(400);\n} Session::put('locale', $lang); return redirect()->back();\n}\n\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
App\/Http\/Controllers\/UserController.php<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<?php\nnamespace App\\Http\\Controllers; use Illuminate\\Http\\Request;\nclass UserController extends Controller\n\n{\n\npublic function index()\n\n{\n\nreturn view(\"users\");\n\n}\n\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 7: Create & Update Blade Files<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<!-- Settings Dropdown -->\n<div class=\"hidden sm:flex sm:items-center sm:ms-6\">\n<x-dropdown align=\"right\" width=\"48\">\n<x-slot name=\"trigger\">\n<button class=\"inline-flex items-center px-3 py-2 border border-transparent text-sm leading-4 font-medium rounded-md text-gray-500 dark:text-gray-400 bg-white dark:bg-gray-800 hover:text-gray-700 dark:hover:text-gray-300 focus:outline-none transition ease-in-out duration- 150\">\n@php($languages = ['en' => 'English', 'fr' => 'French', 'it' => 'Italian'])\n<div>Language: {{ $languages[Session::get('locale', 'en')] }}<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"ms-1\">\n<svg class=\"fill-current h-4 w-4\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\">\n<path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M5.293 7.293a1 1 0 011.414 0L10 10.586l3.293-\n3.293a1 1 0 111.414 1.414l-4 4a1 1 0 01-1.414 0l-4-4a1 1 0 010-1.414z\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/div>\n<\/button>\n<\/x-slot>\n\n\n<x-slot name=\"content\">\n<x-dropdown-link :href=\"route('change.lang', ['lang' => 'en'])\"> English\n<\/x-dropdown-link>\n<x-dropdown-link :href=\"route('change.lang', ['lang' => 'fr'])\"> French\n<\/x-dropdown-link>\n<x-dropdown-link :href=\"route('change.lang', ['lang' => 'it'])\"> Italian\n<\/x-dropdown-link>\n<\/x-slot>\n<\/x-dropdown>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Resources\/views\/dashboard.blade.php<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<x-app-layout>\n<x-slot name=\"header\">\n<h2 class=\"font-semibold text-xl text-gray-800 dark:text-gray-200 leading-tight\">\n{{   ('messages.dashboard') }}\n<\/h2>\n<\/x-slot>\n\n\n<div class=\"py-12\">\n<div class=\"max-w-7xl mx-auto sm:px-6 lg:px-8\">\n<div class=\"bg-white dark:bg-gray-800 overflow-hidden shadow-sm sm:rounded-lg\">\n<div class=\"p-6 text-gray-900 dark:text-gray-100\">\n{{   (\"messages.dashboard_message\") }}\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/x-app-layout><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Resources\/views\/users.blade.php<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<x-app-layout>\n<x-slot name=\"header\">\n<h2 class=\"font-semibold text-xl text-gray-800 dark:text-gray-200 leading-tight\">\n{{   ('messages.users') }}\n<\/h2>\n<\/x-slot>\n\n\n<div class=\"py-12\">\n<div class=\"max-w-7xl mx-auto sm:px-6 lg:px-8\">\n<div class=\"bg-white dark:bg-gray-800 overflow-hidden shadow-sm sm:rounded-lg\">\n<div class=\"p-6 text-gray-900 dark:text-gray-100\">\n{{   ('messages.users_list') }}\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/x-app-layout><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 8: Create Seeder for User<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
php artisan make:seeder UserSeeder<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
All the required steps have been done, now you have to type the given command below and hit enter to run the Laravel app:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
php artisan serve<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Now, go to your web browser, type the given URL, and view the app output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
