Laravel Translation Manager
===========================

[](#laravel-translation-manager)

This package provides an easy way to manage your translations in a database. It takes all files from your default locale folder (e.g. `resources/lang/de`) and creates translation-groups (e.g. `auth.php` becomes translation-group `auth`) which are stored in `translation_groups`-table. Then every entry from each file will be saved to the `translations`-table (yes, it takes care of multidimensional arrays of every depth).

After you have finished translating, the package writes all entries back to the resource-folder. All entries will be kept in database, so you can keep translating.

Updates are handled one-way. That means that changes which are made to a file will not replace the value in the database. The other way round, the complete content of a translation-file will be replaced by the values from the database.

Pros:
-----

[](#pros)

- Laravels default translation-loader will not be replaced, so everything keeps working
- Works with every Laravel version (5.\*)
- To add a new language, simply add it to your `config/app.php` and re-run `php artisan translations:toDatabse`, make your translations and run `php artisan translations:toFile`
- No more database exports! Develop locally without using the export function. Simply use your default language.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

- require via composer `composer require brotzka/translation-manager`
- add list of available languages to your `config/app.php`:

```
'available_locales' => ['de', 'en', 'sv'],

```

- run migration `php artisan migrate`

Commands
--------

[](#commands)

### translations:toDatabase

[](#translationstodatabase)

Call via:

```
php artisan translations:toDatabase

```

Collects all files and entries from within your `resources/lang/` folder and generates translations-groups and translations and writes them to the database. Existing files will NOT be updated.

### translations:toFile

[](#translationstofile)

Call via:

```
php artisan translations:toFile

```

Takes all entries from the database, generates missing language folders and translation-group files and puts the values to the files.

***NOTE***: If you want to call the commands via `Artisan::call('translations.toDatabase')`, you have to register both commands in `app/Console/Kernel.php`:

```
protected $commands = [
    // ..  other commands
    \Brotzka\TranslationManager\Module\Console\Commands\TranslationToDatabase::class,
    \Brotzka\TranslationManager\Module\Console\Commands\TranslationToFile::class,
];

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In the back, this package creates two more models (`TranslationGroup` and `Translation`) tables (`translation_groups` and `translations`).

You can use them as you are used to use models in Laravel. The relevant namespace is: `Brotzka\TranslationManager\Module`.

You can query relationships like this:

- `$translation->getParent`: returns the parent-instance if existing (NULL if not)
- `$translation->children`: returns all children-instances
- `$translation->getGroup`: returns the translation-group of the current translation
- `$translationGroup->entries`: returns all entries belonging to the current translation-group

Future-Plans
------------

[](#future-plans)

- handle JSON-files
- provide some GUI-elements (e.g. language-switcher, translation-manager)
