How does it work?
-----------------

[](#how-does-it-work)

This package will directly modify your translation files like `/lang/en/messages.php` or `/lang/fr.json` for example.

Both `PHP` and `JSON` files are supported.

Advanced features like dead translations detection will scan your entire codebase to find unused translation strings.

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

[](#installation)

Install the package via Composer:

```
composer require elegantly/laravel-translator --dev
```

Add the following line to your `.gitignore` file:

```
storage/.translator.cache

```

Publish the configuration file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="translator-config"
```

---

Configuring the Driver
----------------------

[](#configuring-the-driver)

This package uses a driver-based architecture. By default, it supports two standard drivers: PHP and JSON.

- Use the `PHP` driver if you store your translation strings in `.php` files, such as `/lang/en/message.php`.
- Use the `JSON` driver if you store your translation strings in `.json` files, such as `/lang/fr.json`.

You can also create custom drivers for alternative storage methods, such as a database.

Set the default driver in the configuration file:

```
use Elegantly\Translator\Drivers\PhpDriver;

return [
    /**
     * Possible values: 'php', 'json', or a class-string implementing Driver.
     */
    'driver' => PhpDriver::class,

    // ...
];
```

Note

All features are supported in both the PHP and JSON drivers.

Configuring the Locales
-----------------------

[](#configuring-the-locales)

### Automatic Detection

[](#automatic-detection)

By default, this package will attempt to determine the locales defined in your application by scanning your `lang` directory.

You can customize this behavior in the configuration file.

```
use Elegantly\Translator\Support\LocaleValidator;

return [
    // ...
    'locales' => LocaleValidator::class,
    // ...
];
```

### Manual Setup

[](#manual-setup)

To set the locales manually, use the following configuration:

```
return [
    // ...
    'locales' => ['en', 'fr', 'es'],
    // ...
];
```

---

Configuring the Code Scanner
----------------------------

[](#configuring-the-code-scanner)

Service: `searchcode`.

Features:

- [Detecting Missing Translations](#detecting-missing-translations)
- [Detecting Dead Translations](#detecting-dead-translations)

Both the detection of dead and missing translations rely on scanning your code.

- **Missing translations** are keys found in your codebase but missing in translation files.
- **Dead translations** are keys defined in your translation files but unused in your codebase.

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

At the moment, this package can only scan the following files:

- `.php`
- `.blade.php`

Note

If you use a React or Vue frontend, it would not be able to scan those files, making this feature irrelevant.

The default detector uses `nikic/php-parser` to scan all your `.php` files, including the Blade ones.

In order to be able to detect your keys, you will have to use one of the following Laravel function:

- `__(...)`,
- `trans(...)`
- `trans_choice(...)`
- `\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Lang::get(...)`
- `\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Lang::has(...)`
- `\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Lang::hasForLocale(...)`
- `\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Lang::choice(...)`
- `app('translator')->get(...)`
- `app('translator')->has(...)`
- `app('translator')->hasForLocale(...)`
- `app('translator')->choice(...)`

Or one of the following Laravel Blade directive:

- `@lang(...)`

Here is some example of do's and don'ts:

```
__('messages.home.title'); // ✅ 'messages.home.title' is detected

foreach(__('messages.welcome.lines') as $line){
    // ✅ 'messages.welcome.lines' and all of its children are detected.
}

$key = 'messages.home.title';
__($key); // ❌ no key is detected
```

### Included Paths

[](#included-paths)

Specify paths to scan for translation keys. By default, both `.php` and `.blade.php` files are supported.

```
return [
    'searchcode' => [
        'paths' => [
            app_path(),
            resource_path(),
        ],
    ],
];
```

### Excluded Paths

[](#excluded-paths)

Exclude irrelevant paths for optimized scanning, such as test files or unrelated directories.

```
return [
    'searchcode' => [
        'excluded_paths' => [
            'tests'
        ],
    ],
];
```

### Ignored Translation Keys

[](#ignored-translation-keys)

Ignore specific translation keys:

```
return [
    'searchcode' => [
        'ignored_translations' => [
            'countries', // Ignore keys starting with 'countries'.
        ],
    ],
];
```

---

Sorting and Formatting
----------------------

[](#sorting-and-formatting)

### CLI Commands

[](#cli-commands)

Sort translations with the default driver:

```
php artisan translator:sort
```

Specify a driver for sorting:

```
php artisan translator:sort --driver=json
```

### Using Code

[](#using-code)

Sort translations programmatically with the default driver:

```
use Elegantly\Translator\Facades\Translator;

Translator::sortTranslations(locale: 'fr');
```

Specify a driver:

```
Translator::driver('json')->sortTranslations(locale: 'fr');
```

---

Automatic Translation
---------------------

[](#automatic-translation)

Service: `translate`.

By default, this package uses the Laravel AI SDK (`laravel/ai`) to perform translation requests through an AI provider. See the official documentation for more details: [Laravel AI SDK documentation](https://laravel.com/docs/13.x/ai-sdk)

You can also implement your own translation service if you need custom behavior or provider integration.

### Configuring the Laravel AI SDK

[](#configuring-the-laravel-ai-sdk)

You may override the Laravel AI SDK configuration through the `translator.services.ai` configuration options:

```
return [
    // ...

    'services' => [
        'ai' => [
            'provider' => null,
            'model' => null,
            'timeout' => null,

            // Number of items processed per request.
            'chunk' => 10,

            // Enable concurrent translation requests.
            'concurrency' => false,
        ],
    ],
];
```

The Laravel AI SDK reads provider credentials and default settings from the `config/ai.php` configuration file.

### CLI Translation

[](#cli-translation)

Translate all missing keys from English to every configured locale:

```
php artisan translator:translate en
```

Force re-translation of all keys (overwrites existing values):

```
php artisan translator:translate en --force
```

Translate from English to French:

```
php artisan translator:translate en --target=fr
```

Translate using smaller/larger chunks (defaults to `10`):

```
php artisan translator:translate en --chunk=25
```

Translate using a specific driver:

```
php artisan translator:translate en --driver=json
```

Inspect untranslated keys before translating:

```
php artisan translator:untranslated en fr
```

Inspect untranslated keys with a specific driver:

```
php artisan translator:untranslated en fr --driver=json
```

Add a new locale and immediately translate it from an existing source locale:

```
php artisan translator:add-locale fr en --translate
```

### Programmatic Translation

[](#programmatic-translation)

Translate translations programmatically with the default driver:

```
Translator::translateTranslations(
    source: 'en',
    target: 'fr',
    keys: ['validation.title', ...]
);
```

Specify a driver for translation:

```
Translator::driver('json')->translateTranslations(
    source: 'en',
    target: 'fr',
    keys: ['My Title', ...]
);
```

---

Proofreading Translations
-------------------------

[](#proofreading-translations)

Service: `proofread`.

The proofreading service improves existing translation strings by correcting grammar, spelling, syntax, and wording while preserving the original meaning and translation context.

By default, this package uses the Laravel AI SDK (`laravel/ai`) to send proofreading requests to an AI provider. See the official documentation for more details: [Laravel AI SDK documentation](https://laravel.com/docs/13.x/ai-sdk)

See [Configuring the Laravel AI SDK](#configuring-the-laravel-ai-sdk) for configuration details.

You may also implement a custom proofreading service to integrate a different provider or customize the proofreading workflow.

### CLI Proofreading

[](#cli-proofreading)

Proofread all strings in the target locale (English).

```
php artisan translator:proofread en
```

### Programmatic Proofreading

[](#programmatic-proofreading)

Proofread translations with the default driver:

```
Translator::proofreadTranslations(
    locale: 'fr',
    keys: ['auth.email', ...]
);
```

Specify a driver:

```
Translator::driver('json')->proofreadTranslations(
    locale: 'fr',
    keys: ['My Title', ...]
);
```

---
