======

[](#kotoba)

> 言葉 |kotoba|(koh-toe-bah) noun word, language : used normally in place of the term "gengo:language" which is used more academically

About
=====

[](#about)

Kotoba is an extension language pack for Laravel 5.x

Use [illuminate3's Lingos](https://github.com/illuminate3/vedettte "illuminate3's Lingos") for Laravel 4.

I have been trying to refine how the words and phrases have been laid out. I do realize that this package is English centric but with your help I'm sure that we could fix this problem.

Version
-------

[](#version)

1.0.0

- Based on the Lingos language file pack

Available Languages
-------------------

[](#available-languages)

- English

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

[](#installation)

1.) Add to composer.json in the require statement:

```
"require": {
    "illuminate3/kotoba": "dev-master",
    ...
},

```

2.) Add to the app.php providers list

```
'Illuminate3\Kotoba\KotobaServiceProvider',

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

real world example:

```
{{ trans('kotoba::auth.register') }}
{{ Lang::get('kotoba::auth.register') }}

```

Break down of how it works:

```
{{ trans('kotoba::filename.line') }}
{{ Lang::get('kotoba::filename.line') }}
@lang('kotoba::filename.line')

```

Plurals

```
{{ Lang::choice('kotoba::file.line', 1|2) }}

```

kotoba:: // The package name auth. // The language file name register // The phrase or word that you want to call

Result: Register

Files
-----

[](#files)

1. account :: standard account terminology
2. auth :: terminology that is more specific towards authorization and authentification
3. button :: various terminology appearing on buttons
4. cms :: typical terminology used by CMS's
5. email :: email template phrases and words
6. general :: bases phrases and words
7. group :: group terminology
8. permission :: permission terminology
9. role :: role terminology
10. table :: various terminology appearing on table column headings

Note: Sometimes you have words or phrases that can fall into both the button, table and general categories. I separated these since you might want to have them slightly different, like capitalizations or similar.

To the Community
----------------

[](#to-the-community)

Feel free to fork all you want. What would be nice if you were to add your own language to this package.

Future
------

[](#future)

- Add Languages
- Consider moving towards DB installation or create separate package.
- Think of sane directory layout in case the files become too many.
- Find a way to version control Caouec's package
- Consolidate singular and plurals
- Look into integrating the base Laravel language files
- Further refining of how to create an easy to use organization.
