Laravel 5.4 Gettext

With this package you can load/parse/store gettext strings

Installation

Begin by installing this package through Composer.

{
    "require": {
        "eusonlito/laravel-gettext": "2.0.*"
    }
}

Laravel installation

Note: If you are using Laravel 5.5 or above, the next steps for providers and aliases are unnecessaries. laravel-Gettext supports Laravel new Package Discovery.


// config/app.php

'providers' => [
    '...',
    'Eusonlito\LaravelGettext\GettextServiceProvider',
];

'aliases' => [
    '...',
    'Gettext'    => 'Eusonlito\LaravelGettext\Facade',
];

Now you have a Gettext facade available.

Publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish

Usage

__('Here your text');
__('Here your text with %s parameters', 1);
__('Here your text with parameters %s and %s', 1, 2);

Gettext Files

By default, gettext .po and .mo files are stored in resources/gettext/xx_XX/LC_MESSAGES/messages.XX

xx_XX is language code like en_US, es_ES, etc...

Using your own Gettext function/helper

If you want to create your alternative gettext function:


// config/app.php

'providers' => [
    '...',
    'Eusonlito\LaravelGettext\GettextServiceProvider',
    'App\Providers\GettextServiceProvider',
];

Create the file:


// app/Providers/GettextServiceProvider.php

<?php
namespace App\Providers {
    use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

    class GettextServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
    {
        public function register()
        {
        }
    }
}

namespace {
    function txt($original)
    {
        static $translator;

        if (empty($translator)) {
            $translator = app('gettext')->getTranslator();
        }

        $text = $translator->gettext($original);

        if (func_num_args() === 1) {
            return $text;
        }

        $args = array_slice(func_get_args(), 1);

        return is_array($args[0]) ? strtr($text, $args[0]) : vsprintf($text, $args);
    }
}
