@Niush thank you for your time and reply. Still you are using: auth()->user()?->locale...

What i am trying to implement is change the local globally without session() auth() etc.

Thx again

@mir86 if you do not use the Session (Cookie, Session, Auth), then how can you allow change to the locale for each user individually?

thank you for your time and reply. Good question ? SO the localisation by default must use sessions right ? There is no way to implement it without ? I was thinking there is a way to implment the localisation change globally without using sessions

@mir86 Usually we would put it into the Session so it follows the User during their visit. Why don't you want to use the Session?

Otherwise, you could set the locale for the current request using a URL segment (/en/products/1) if you prefer; but you need somewhere to store this so you can build the correct URLs for internal links (so every link on your site has the locale included) specific to the current User. You could put to a temporary cache (array driver) to persist the value for the duration of the current request; then repeat for each subsequent Request.

thank you for your time and reply. Actually in my project case there is no need to implement sessions and users. It s a card website.

@mir86 there still is a Session

@tykus set the locale using a URL segment: it would be something like this in ...blades.php:

is that what you mean ?

P.s. @mir86 there still is a Session so no way to implement without sessions right ?

@mir86 the locale would be a wildcard parameter, e.g.

Route::prefix('{locale}')->group(function () {
    Route::get('contacts', [ContactController::class, 'index'])->name('contacts.index');
});

route('contacts.index', ['locale' => 'en']);

You can add a route middleware to grab the locale from the URL; and therefore set the locale for the Request

By default, you always have a Session started when you visit a Laravel application; but this does not mean you have authenticated users (Session !== Authentication)
