Laravel YAML Translations
=========================

[](#laravel-yaml-translations)

Translating your application sucks. Translating it by throwing a ton of key/value pairs into plain ol' PHP arrays sucks even worse. This package makes it suck a *little* bit less by allowing you to use [YAML](http://www.yaml.org/) to format your [Laravel](http://laravel.com/) language files.

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/59fa78608f0582ccd0723f1d4c2d0c4f5b24c53d8d4be08cc30481b8a035a9ce/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f616b757a656d6368616b2f6c61726176656c2d79616d6c2d7472616e736c6174696f6e732e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/akuzemchak/laravel-yaml-translations)

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 5.3+
- Laravel 4.1+

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

[](#installation)

First, add the package to your `composer.json` dependencies and run `composer update`:

```
{
    "require": {
        "kuz/laravel-yaml-translations": "0.*"
    }
}

```

Next, you'll need to **replace** the default service provider with the new one in `app/config/app.php`:

```
// 'Illuminate\Translation\TranslationServiceProvider',
'Kuz\Translation\TranslationServiceProvider',

```

That should be it! You can now name your language files with a `.yml` extension, and use valid YAML arrays for your translations, like so:

```
name_label: Your Name
email_label: Your Email Address
password_label: Choose a Password

```

**Also worth noting:** If a language file with a `.yml` extension is not found, the loader will fall back to using the PHP language file if one exists. This means you don't have to convert the stock language files, like `validation.php` or `reminders.php`!
