Laravel 5 how I can change language Auth, Password Reminders & Reset ?

Language is set in config/app.php :

'locale' => 'en',

Just add your language pack in resources/lang. You can find it there.

If I well understand what you mean.

I need dynamic change the language for multilang site with setLocale! When I make this URL http://localhost/ru/password/email/ , I can change lang the blade template, but errors or other messages still by EN

You want this probably: http://nielson.io/2014/05/easy-route-localization-in-laravel-using-filters/

In Laravel 5, you need to change the filter to a middleware

In the lang file, you should make an "ru" folder and translate all the messages in the "en" folder.

I created ru folder and all the massage translated! I try to middleware, but its don't work! How I can run middleware here:

Route::controllers([ 'auth' => 'Auth\AuthController', 'password' => 'Auth\PasswordController', ]);

This route control all auth and password urls

If you use for example a "lang" middleware, just create group in routes :

Route::group(['middleware' => 'lang'], function()
{
    Route::controllers([ 'auth' => 'Auth\AuthController', 'password' => 'Auth\PasswordController', ]);
});

I've written a package to handle multi language routes / views in Laravel 5. It's relatively new so it can probably be improved much... but maybe it can be of use?

https://github.com/codezero-be/viewfinder

I created a global middleware for all routes ($middleware property app/Http/Kernel.php class)

<?php namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Closure;

class SetLangMiddleware {

    /**
     * Handle an incoming request.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \Closure  $next
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        

        if (strlen($request->segment(1))=='2')
        {
            $request->setLocale($request->segment(1));
        }
        print $request->segment(1)."!!!";
        return $next($request);
    }

}

and when I'm opened URL for example http://localhost/ru/ - I saw EN blade template!

But, if I write code

if (strlen(Request::segment(1))=='2')
{
    App::setLocale($request->segment(1));
}

into a routes.php - I successfully change the language!

I will try to explain my problem:

1. I create route for Password reminder http://localhost/ru/password/email/ - how you can see I used RU(or other lang) in my URL for create Multilanguage form. If I open http://localhost/password/email/ without RU - I can't set language into routes.php , my form will be open only EN language! So that's why I use http://localhost/ru/password/email/ !!!
2. But, when I send my form, I get a message by EN (We have e-mailed your password reset link! ), while my template by RU!!!

How I can explain it: after click Button http://localhost/ru/password/email/ my page was reloaded to default page http://localhost/password/email/ and e-mail was send, and then I redirect back to http://localhost/ru/password/email/ but with EN errors/status messages.

It's a rough workaround, but maybe you can try this:

• create views/ru/emails/password.blade.php
• create views/en/emails/password.blade.php
• create views/emails/password.blade.php

That last one will be loaded by default, so you could replace its content with this:

@include( App::getLocale() . '.emails.password')

Now it should load the correct language... You might want to check somewhere if the locale is valid (you have views for it)...

For error messages you'll have to create a language file in resources/lang/ru. You can just copy and translate the ones from the resources/lang/en folder.

@armix your code seem fine. Are you sure the middleware is run ? What happends if you put dd() in the handle method does it kill the app ?

Are you sure you put a ru subfolder in resources/lang ? With the correct files like https://github.com/caouecs/Laravel4-lang/tree/laravel5 ? Because if it doesnt exist it will put the en translations.

@ivanv please don't post ugly workaround. This thread will probably be read by other people and we don't want to mislead them by making them create a subfolder in view for each locale. The correct approach for internationalization is to set the locale through a middleware so we will get this to work.

@pmall How would you translate static views if they have alot of content? It's not very handy to put it all in a language file... Wouldn't you achieve the same result with the middleware (load the correct translated view)?

I decided my problem, when used into POST a hide form element with language parameter!

I used DB for save and fetch static content!
