# Store your language lines in the database
[](https://packagist.org/packages/spatie/laravel-translation-loader)
[](LICENSE.md)
[](https://packagist.org/packages/spatie/laravel-translation-loader)
In a vanilla Laravel or Lumen installation you can use [language files](https://laravel.com/docs/localization) to localize your app. This package will enable the translations to be stored in the database. You can still use all the features of [the `__` helper function](https://laravel.com/docs/localization#retrieving-translation-strings) you know and love.
```php
__('messages.welcome', ['name' => 'dayle']);
```
You can even mix using language files and the database. If a translation is present in both a file and the database, the database version will be returned.
Want to use a different source for your translations? No problem! The package is [easily extendable](https://github.com/spatie/laravel-translation-loader#creating-your-own-translation-providers).
Spatie is a webdesign agency based in Antwerp, Belgium. You'll find an overview of all our open source projects [on our website](https://spatie.be/opensource).
## Support us
[
](https://spatie.be/github-ad-click/laravel-translation-loader)
We invest a lot of resources into creating [best in class open source packages](https://spatie.be/open-source). You can support us by [buying one of our paid products](https://spatie.be/open-source/support-us).
We highly appreciate you sending us a postcard from your hometown, mentioning which of our package(s) you are using. You'll find our address on [our contact page](https://spatie.be/about-us). We publish all received postcards on [our virtual postcard wall](https://spatie.be/open-source/postcards).
## Installation
You can install the package via composer:
``` bash
composer require spatie/laravel-translation-loader
```
In `config/app.php` (Laravel) or `bootstrap/app.php` (Lumen) you should replace Laravel's translation service provider
```php
Illuminate\Translation\TranslationServiceProvider::class,
```
by the one included in this package:
```php
Spatie\TranslationLoader\TranslationServiceProvider::class,
```
You must publish and run the migrations to create the `language_lines` table:
```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\TranslationLoader\TranslationServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"
php artisan migrate
```
Optionally you could publish the config file using this command.
```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\TranslationLoader\TranslationServiceProvider" --tag="config"
```
This is the contents of the published config file:
```php
return [
/*
* Language lines will be fetched by these loaders. You can put any class here that implements
* the Spatie\TranslationLoader\TranslationLoaders\TranslationLoader-interface.
*/
'translation_loaders' => [
Spatie\TranslationLoader\TranslationLoaders\Db::class,
],
/*
* This is the model used by the Db Translation loader. You can put any model here
* that extends Spatie\TranslationLoader\LanguageLine.
*/
'model' => Spatie\TranslationLoader\LanguageLine::class,
/*
* This is the translation manager which overrides the default Laravel `translation.loader`
*/
'translation_manager' => Spatie\TranslationLoader\TranslationLoaderManager::class,
];
```
> **Note:** publishing assets doesn't work out of the box in Lumen. Instead you have to copy the files from the repo.
## Usage
You can create a translation in the database by creating and saving an instance of the `Spatie\TranslationLoader\LanguageLine`-model:
```php
use Spatie\TranslationLoader\LanguageLine;
LanguageLine::create([
'group' => 'validation',
'key' => 'required',
'text' => ['en' => 'This is a required field', 'nl' => 'Dit is een verplicht veld'],
]);
```
You can fetch the translation with [Laravel's default `__` function](https://laravel.com/docs/localization#retrieving-translation-strings):
```php
__('validation.required'); // returns 'This is a required field'
app()->setLocale('nl');
__('validation.required'); // returns 'Dit is een verplicht veld'
```
You can still keep using the default language files as well. If a requested translation is present in both the database and the language files, the database version will be returned.
If you need to store/override json translation lines, just create a normal LanguageLine with `group => '*'`.
## Creating your own translation providers
This package ships with a translation provider than can fetch translations from the database. If you're storing your translations in a yaml-file, a csv-file, or ... you can easily extend this package by creating your own translation provider.
A translation provider can be any class that implements the `Spatie\TranslationLoader\TranslationLoaders\TranslationLoader`-interface. It contains only one method:
```php
namespace Spatie\TranslationLoader\TranslationLoaders;
interface TranslationLoader
{
/*
* Returns all translations for the given locale and group.
*/
public function loadTranslations(string $locale, string $group): array;
}
```
Translation providers can be registered in the `translation_loaders` key of the config file.
