Documentation

[](#documentation)

There are two terms used throughout this package - Localization and Translation, let's describe the difference:

### Localization

[](#localization)

We use **localization** for localized value of entity key. For example used like this:

```
{{-- Original value --}}
{{ $page->meta_title }}

{{-- Localized value --}}
@localize($page, 'meta_title')

```

### Translation

[](#translation)

Translation refers to original translation feature of Laravel and does not need any special markup. Special admin screen to manage translations is provided.

```
trans('platform/pages::common.title')

```

#### Register new localized entity

[](#register-new-localized-entity)

);

```

#### Localize entity field

```

### Translate strings
