📝 Introduction
--------------

[](#-introduction)

At [Nodes](http://nodesagency.com) we create a lot of stuff, which needs to be supported in multiple languages. The translation feature that comes out of the box requires a developer to change it in a local file and commit and deploy that. But we wanted to use a service where other people - clients, project managers etc. - would be able to manage translations.

This package makes it easy to create translation providers and use them genericly in your [Laravel](http://laravel.com/docs/5.2) application.

Right it only comes with support for:

- [NStack](http://nstack.io)

But we very much welcome pull requests with providers to other services.

📦 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

To install this package you will need:

- Laravel 5.1+
- PHP 5.5.9+

You must then modify your `composer.json` file and run `composer update` to include the latest version of the package in your project.

```
"require": {
    "nodes/translate": "^1.0"
}
```

Or you can run the composer require command from your terminal.

```
composer require nodes/translate:^1.0
```

🔧 Setup
-------

[](#-setup)

> In Laravel 5.5 and above, service providers and aliases are [automatically registered](https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/packages#package-discovery). If you're using Laravel 5.5 or above, skip ahead directly to *Publish config files*.

Setup service provider in `config/app.php`

```
Nodes\Translate\ServiceProvider::class
```

Setup alias in `config/app.php`

```
'Translate' => Nodes\Translate\Support\Facades\Translate::class
```

Publish config files

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nodes\Translate\ServiceProvider"
```

If you want to overwrite any existing config files use the `--force` parameter

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nodes\Translate\ServiceProvider" --force
```

⚙ Usage
-------

[](#-usage)

### Global methods

[](#global-methods)

```
translate($key, $replacements = [], $locale = null, $platform = null)

translate_app($app, $key, $replacements = [], $locale = null, $platform = null)

translate_or_fail($key, array $replacements = [], $locale = null, $platform = null)

translate_app_or_fail($application, $key, $replacements = [], $locale = null, $platform = null)

translate_with_fallback($key, $fallback, array $replacements = [], $locale = null, $platform = null)

translate_app_with_fallback($application, $key, $fallback, $replacements = [], $locale = null, $platform = null)
```

### Fallbacks

[](#fallbacks)

There are two ways to handle fallbacks, if key is either missing or NStack is down and cache is invalid

1. By default the translate() func will use laravel's trans('nstack.' . key) as fallback, that means you can download the nstack keys and reformat them to a php array in insert the file into `/ressources/lang/en/nstack.php`
2. Use the translate\_with\_fallback and decide what to use
