Laravel Langman

Langman is a language files manager in your artisan console, it helps you search, update, add, and remove translation lines with ease. Taking care of a multilingual interface is not a headache anymore.

Installation

Begin by installing the package through Composer. Run the following command in your terminal:

Once done, add the following line in your providers array of config/app.php:

This package has a single configuration option that points to the resources/lang directory, if only you need to change the path then publish the config file:

Usage

Showing lines of a translation file

You get:

Brings only the translation of the name key in all languages.

Brings the translation of a nested key.

Brings the translation of a vendor package language file.

Brings the translation of only the "en" and "it" languages.

Brings only the translation lines with keys matching the given key via close match, so searching for nam brings values for keys like (name, username, branch_name_required, etc...).

In the table returned by this command, if a translation is missing it'll be marked in red.

Finding a translation line

You get a table of language lines where any of the values matches the given phrase by close match.

Searching view files for missing translations

This command will look into all files in resources/views and app and find all translation keys that are not covered in your translation files, after that it appends those keys to the files with a value equal to an empty string.

Filling missing translations

It'll collect all the keys that are missing in any of the languages or has values equals to an empty string, prompt asking you to give a translation for each, and finally save the given values to the files.

Translating a key

Using this command you may set a language key (plain or nested) for a given group, you may also specify which language you wish to set leaving the other languages as is.

This command will add a new key if not existing, and updates the key if it is already there.

Removing a key

It'll remove that key from all language files.

Renaming a key

This will rename users.name to be users.full_name, the console will output a list of files where the key used to exist.

Notes

langman:sync, langman:missing, langman:trans, and langman:remove will update your language files by writing them completely, meaning that any comments or special styling will be removed, so I recommend you backup your files.

Web interface

If you want a web interface to manage your language files instead, I recommend Laravel 5 Translation Manager by Barry vd. Heuvel.
