Gettext for Laravel
===================

[](#gettext-for-laravel)

This library is heavliy inspired (and partially based on) [netson/l4gettext](https://github.com/netson/l4gettext) and you should really use his library instead of mine.

I wrote this because I wanted to learn more about gettext (and package creating with laravel in general). I do not plan on supporting this library.

Get started
-----------

[](#get-started)

First of you need to publish the configuration

```
php artisan config:publish paxx/gettext
```

After your changes to the config, you can go ahead and add the service provider to the list of providers in app/config/app.php:

```
'Paxx\Gettext\GettextServiceProvider'
```

You might need to make sure that php can write to app/lang since that is the folder where the POT-files will be placed in.

To change locale you can then use:

```
Gettext::setLocale('sv_SE');
```

Just make sure that you have the locales installed on your system.

After everything is set, you can run

```
php artisan gettext
```

And your translations will be extracted from the views and added to the POT-file.

Dependencies
