Language switch not working when installed on shared hosting server

Hi everyone,

I have made a website in Laravel, a multilingual website, so far English and French. To change the language there is a route declared Route::get('home/lang/{any}','HomeController@getLang');

Then in the HomeController public function getLang (Request $request , $lang) {$request->session()->put('lang', $lang); return Redirect::back(); }

In the index function of the same controller it is:

public function index (Request $request) { \App::setLocale(\Session::get('lang')); }

With this code Laravel is able to translate the strings. It works like a charm in my local PC, but when I install in a shared hosting server (in my case, Hostgator), it doesn't work. When I click on the webpage to switch to another language, it's just refreshing the page and the same original language shows. Why does this happen? What do I have to do for this to work in a shared hosting? Is that a kind of protection Laravel has?

For more details, session seems to be working OK, I print before executing the Lang::get in the views \Log::info("Get Locale in Home page: ".\App::getLocale()); and it prints correctly to the language that I have just switched to, b but then the {!! Lang::get('xxx') !!} doesn't work, nor the {{ trans('xxx') }} Languages files are well placed and everything works locally, but not in the shared hosting server. So it is the Lang::get that doesn't get the appropiate language.

Any help will be welcomed, Ariel
