mulity language dynamically?

just create a folder on lang file. in 4.2 its in app/lang and in 5 resources/lang. in each folder create various language file of same name and set default language 'locale' => 'folder_name' in app/config/app.php in 4.2 and in 5 its config/app.php file. you can set your language in runtime by just adding one line. App::setLocale('es'); cool right?

Laravel doesn't do much for multilingual support.

There is one package for laravel 4, but it is not ready for 5: https://github.com/mcamara/laravel-localization

I would not use it. Imho the best way would be to get rid of the locale slug from uri in index.php and then define a constant and use it in app.php locale key. perhaps it is possible to remove it inside the system as well. i have not done that before with laravel, but i will soon in my current project.

to get the idea, from where laravel searches the uri, see https://github.com/symfony/HttpFoundation/blob/master/Request.php#L1614

i think with apache and nginx REQUEST_URI is safe!

this way it would work in every app.

if anyone has info on how to remove the locale slug "the right way", i would like to know that as well.

What if i need to manage the dynamic content language specific?

if you want't to know about database setup, then perhaps this could help you

and if you need to setup your system with locale info in uri, see my previous post. i bet this is the at least a good solution. with mcamara/laravel-localization package i think the locale slug will remain in uri, which will give you a decent headache when you have to work with uris.
