How to use {lang} in Route::resource

I'm trying to use lang parameter in my resource route, but how do I handle this. I have this right now:

Route::resource('pigeon/{lang}', 'PigeonController');

But this provides some very bad routes :P routes

I have been looking here: https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/localization But I can't seem to find it.

There is a section in the documentation about localizing resource names which might help

@D9705996 - Hello there,

Yes I've seen that, but that is talking about translating the standard route things like, create, show, edit.

It's not about how to put a lang prefix in the url, like /en/, /pt/

You think there's somewhere in the documentation an explanation about that?

I would use a package for this rather than write my own.

FYI - convention would be to put the language at the start of the url rather than between the resoufce and actions

Srry thats what I meant. e.g. /en/pigeon

Just from your post pigeon/{lang} would be /pigeon/en

@D9705996 - Oh I see now, yep that's totally my fault. You are right!
