Folder 'de' on lang not being recognized

@Sinnbeck I mean 'domain.com/de'. But it's working fine for 'en' and 'it'.

@Magalliu how are you setting locale based on url? That isn't a built in feature in laravel

@Sinnbeck It's a work around and I'm not using any package. I'm managing it on header like this:

        @php
        $thisUrl = url()->current().'/';

        if (app()->getlocale() == 'en') {
            $newUrlIt  = str_replace('/en/', '/it/', $thisUrl);
            $newUrlDe  = str_replace('/en/', '/de/', $thisUrl);
        } else if (app()->getlocale() == 'it') {
            $newUrlEn  = str_replace('/it/', '/en/', $thisUrl);
            $newUrlDe  = str_replace('/it/', '/de/', $thisUrl);
        } else if (app()->getlocale() == 'de') {
            $newUrlIt  = str_replace('/de/', '/it/', $thisUrl);
            $newUrlEn  = str_replace('/de/', '/en/', $thisUrl);
        }
        @endphp

          @if ( Config::get('app.locale') == 'it')
          <a class="dropdown-item" href="{{ $newUrlEn }}">
            <span class="lang lang-en">English</span>
          </a>
          <a class="dropdown-item" href="{{ $newUrlDe }}">
            <span class="lang lang-de">German</span>
          </a>
          @elseif ( Config::get('app.locale') == 'en' )
          <a class="dropdown-item" href="{{ $newUrlIt  }}">
            <span class="lang lang-it">Italian</span>
          </a>
          <a class="dropdown-item" href="{{ $newUrlDe }}">
            <span class="lang lang-de">German</span>
          </a>
          @elseif ( Config::get('app.locale') == 'de' )
          <a class="dropdown-item" href="{{ $newUrlEn }}">
            <span class="lang lang-en">English</span>
          </a>
          <a class="dropdown-item" href="{{ $newUrlIt }}">
            <span class="lang lang-it">Italian</span>
          </a>
          @endif

The problem is that 'de' is not being recognized. English and Italian it's working fine.

@Magalliu my guess is that you are replacing wrong here

$newUrlIt  = str_replace('/de/', '/en/', $thisUrl); //en instead of it 
            $newUrlEn  = str_replace('/de/', '/en/', $thisUrl); 

@Sinnbeck

$newUrlIt  = str_replace('/de/', '/it/', $thisUrl); // 'it' stands for italian language
$newUrlEn  = str_replace('/de/', '/en/', $thisUrl); // 'en' stands for italian language

And that's not the problem because all the url are having the correct locale. The problem is when I'm on 'domain.com/de' it does not take the translations from 'de' folder but it takes the translations from the default locale which is 'it'.

@Magalliu is this shown?

 <span class="lang lang-de">German</span> 

@Sinnbeck when I'm on 'domain.com/de' it shows the same as it was 'domain.com/it'. So the behavior when I'm on 'domain.com/de' is same as it was 'domain.com/it'. And 'it' is the default locale.

So when I check else if (app()->getlocale() == 'de') when I'm on 'domain.com/de' it return false because '/de' is not being recognized at all.

@Magalliu where is your call to setting the locale?

@Sinnbeck Sorry my bad I had to add 'de' at locales on the middleware.

if(in_array($locale, ['en','it', 'de'])) {
            App::setLocale($locale);
            $request->except(0); // handle request without locale further
}

@Magalliu ah perfect

@Sinnbeck can I ask you another question which is related always to locale. Changing locale now will add public on the url like this: 'domain.com/public/en' or 'domain.com/public/it' or 'domain.com/public/de'.

This is happening only on changing the locale using the code provided above. I have already created the rules on .htaccess and public is already removed from url.

It will be added public on url only when changing the locale. Any idea or I have to open a new thread?

@Magalliu I suggest you create a new thread, so others also can help out
