Wave Localization-multilanguage
Hello, i just look if anybody open discussion about wave multilanguage or localization manager. It is an approach that somebody take it and integrate with success?
Hi there,
For your Blade views I could suggest using the built-in Laravel localization feature as described here:
Voyager also comes with Multilanguage support:
For the data that you store in the database itself, it might be a bit more tricky, but what you could do is have separate columns for the data that you need to have in different languages, for example, let's take a Video mode with the following table:
-
id -
title_en -
title_fr -
body_en -
body_fr -
video_url
That way, you have a column for the English title and body, and a separate column for the French translation. Then based on the currently set locale, you could display the contents of the respective column. The main downside here is that it is not very scalable, as if you have 10 different languages, then this means that you would end up with a bunch of columns.
Hope that this helps!
Thnx Bobby, i succeed to have most of my app translated!!!

That is great! Happy to hear that!
if Voyager also comes with Multilanguage support why should i create additional fields in the database? isn't it enough to enable translatable in models?
Yes, but how would this work for a post body for example where you have long text input where the user could write anything?
I don't understand, if I put a very long text in English and its very long translation in Italian, isn't it saved?
Yes, you are actually correct. You should be able to do that with Voyager directly:
