Intergrate multi-language support in Laravel is prettry easy. This implementation is based on a video: Switch languages in Laravel with Localization in 5.8 made easy !
Thanks Bert De Swaef!

We can simply implement multi-language support in Laravel by the following steps.

Route set up

Open your route file routes\web.php and add the following code:

1
2
3
4
Route::get('/lang/{locale}', function ($locale) {
session()->put('locale', $locale);
return redirect()->back();
});

Add middleware

1
php artisan make:middleware Localization

Open the file app/Http/Middleware/Localization.php and edit as the following code:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

11

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Closure;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App;

class Localization
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @param \Closure(\Illuminate\Http\Request): (\Illuminate\Http\Response|\Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse) $next
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response|\Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse
*/
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
//check if session has locale
if (session()->has('locale')) {
//set locale
App::setLocale(session('locale'));
}
return $next($request);
}
}

Then add the Localization middleware to the middlewareGroups section of app/Http/Kernel.php file as the following code:

1
2
3
4
5
6
protected $middlewareGroups = [
'web' => [
...
\App\Http\Middleware\Localization::class,
],
