My service provider of my custom package has the following lines in the boot() method:
$this->loadTranslationsFrom(__DIR__.'/../resources/lang', 'name');
$this->publishes([
__DIR__.'/../resources/lang' => resource_path('lang/vendor/name'),
], 'lang');
I ran the php artisan vendor:publish command and the packages/vendorname/packagename/resources/lang/de.json file was successfully copied to the project.
The translation is not working. I tried copying to the /lang/vendor/name/ folder as well.
When I move my de.json file manually to /lang then the translation is working. To there is no issue with the file itself.
I tried to clear all caches already.
I am not sure why, But, it seems that Laravel just loads only the JSON translation files of the main project and the first package in the Vendor folder.
My solution is:
for loading the JSON translation files from your package, you have to use loadJsonTranslationsFrom in your package's service provider:
class CustomeServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* Bootstrap the package services.
*
* @return void
*/
public function boot()
{
$this->loadJsonTranslationsFrom(__DIR__.'/../resources/lang');
}
}
In your JSON file you can use your package name as a prefix for every key. for example, if your package name is MyPackage, your en.json file looks like:
{
"MyPackage::email": "Email",
"MyPackage::username": "Username",
...
}
You can use some helper functions of Laravel to load your translation keys:
trans('MyPackage::email'); // returns "Email"
OR
__('MyPackage::username'); // returns "Username"
