Multilanguage

Voyager supports multiple languages for your models.To get started, you need to configure some things first.

Setup

First you need to define some locales in your config/voyager.php file and enable multilanguage:

'multilingual' => [
        'enabled' => true,
        'default' => 'en',
        'locales' => [
            'en',
            'da',
        ],
    ],

After that you need to include the Translatable Trait in your model and define the translatable attributes:

use TCG\Voyager\Traits\Translatable;
class Post extends Model
{
    use Translatable;
    protected $translatable = ['title', 'body'];
}

Now you will see a language-selection in your Pages BREAD.

Usage

Eager-load translations

// Loads all translations
$posts = Post::with('translations')->get();

// Loads all translations
$posts = Post::all();
$posts->load('translations');

// Loads all translations
$posts = Post::withTranslations()->get();

// Loads specific locales translations
$posts = Post::withTranslations(['en', 'da'])->get();

// Loads specific locale translations
$posts = Post::withTranslation('da')->get();

// Loads current locale translations
$posts = Post::withTranslation('da')->get();

Get default language value

echo $post->title;

Get translated value

echo $post->getTranslatedAttribute('title', 'locale', 'fallbackLocale');

If you do not define locale, the current application locale will be used. You can pass in your own locale as a string. If you do not define fallbackLocale, the current application fallback locale will be used. You can pass your own locale as a string. If you want to turn the fallback locale off, pass false. If no values are found for the model for a specific attribute, either for the locale or the fallback, it will set that attribute to null.

Translate the whole model

$post = $post->translate('locale', 'fallbackLocale');
echo $post->title;
echo $post->body;

// You can also run the `translate` method on the Eloquent collection
// to translate all models in the collection.
$posts = $posts->translate('locale', 'fallbackLocale');
echo $posts[0]->title;

If you do not define locale, the current application locale will be used. You can pass in your own locale as a string. If you do not define fallbackLocale, the current application fallback locale will be used. You can pass in your own locale as a string. If you want to turn the fallback locale off, pass false. If no values are found for the model for a specific attribute, either for the locale or the fallback, it will set that attribute to null.

Check if model is translatable

// with string
if (Voyager::translatable(Post::class)) {
    // it's translatable
}

// with object of Model or Collection
if (Voyager::translatable($post)) {
    // it's translatable
}

Set attribute translations

$post = $post->translate('da');
$post->title = 'foobar';
$post->save();

This will update or create the translation for title of the post with the locale da. Please note that if a modified attribute is not translatable, then it will make the changes directly to the model itself. Meaning that it will overwrite the attribute in the language set as default.

Query translatable Models

To search for a translated value, you can use the whereTranslation method. For example, to search for the slug of a post, you'd use

$page = Page::whereTranslation('slug', 'my-translated-slug');
// Is the same as
$page = Page::whereTranslation('slug', '=', 'my-translated-slug');
// Search only locale en, de and the default locale
$page = Page::whereTranslation('slug', '=', 'my-translated-slug', ['en', 'de']);
// Search only locale en and de
$page = Page::whereTranslation('slug', '=', 'my-translated-slug', ['en', 'de'], false);

whereTranslation accepts the following parameter:

• field the field you want to search in

• operator the operator. Defaults to =. Also can be the value (Same as where)

• value the value you want to search for

• locales the locales you want to search in as an array. Leave as null if you want to search all locales

• default also search in the default value/locale. Defaults to true.
