$ php artisan migrate Add trait to your model which need to translate and setup your default language for your model
class Category extends Model { use Translate; protected $defaultLocale = 'en'; } You can create entity with translate as usually:
Category::create([ 'name' => 'name', 'ru' => [ 'name' => 'название' ], 'fr' => [ 'name' => 'fr name' ] ]); For access the translate value you can use next variant:
Determine when calling
$category->translate('fr')->name Use your app locale
App()->setLocale('fr') $category->name Get all translations attributes for current model
$category->getTranslations('fr') You can use relations for eager loader your model
App()->setLocale('fr'); $item = Item::with('category', 'category.rTranslate')->first(); $item->category->name; To array with relation
App()->setLocale('fr'); $item = Item::with('category', 'category.rTranslate')->first(); $item->toArray(); Result = [ 'id' =>1, 'item_name' => 'name', 'category' => [ 'name' => 'fr name' ] ]; If you want to override function toArray() use translateToArray() in your model
public function toArray() { $array = $this->translateToArray(); //parent::toArray() // Your code here return $array; }
