This package contains a trait `HasTranslations` to make Eloquent models translatable. Translations are stored as json. There is no extra table needed to hold them.

```
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Spatie\Translatable\HasTranslations;

class NewsItem extends Model
{
    use HasTranslations;

    // ...
}
```

After the trait is applied on the model you can do these things:

```
$newsItem = new NewsItem;
$newsItem
   ->setTranslation('name', 'en', 'Name in English')
   ->setTranslation('name', 'nl', 'Naam in het Nederlands')
   ->save();

$newsItem->name; // Returns 'Name in English' given that the current app locale is 'en'
$newsItem->getTranslation('name', 'nl'); // returns 'Naam in het Nederlands'

app()->setLocale('nl');

$newsItem->name; // Returns 'Naam in het Nederlands'

// If you want to query records based on locales, you can use the `whereLocale` and `whereLocales` methods.

NewsItem::whereLocale('name', 'en')->get(); // Returns all news items with a name in English

NewsItem::whereLocales('name', ['en', 'nl'])->get(); // Returns all news items with a name in English or Dutch
```
