Laravel Filament Chained Translation Manager

The Laravel Filament Chained Translation Manager allows you to easily edit the translations of your current Laravel environment. This translation manager uses the Laravel Chained Translator, that enables you to override the default translations with translations for a specific environment, e.g. a content manager can independently edit and override the translation files on the production environment from the translations provided by the developers.

Typically, at some point during the development phase, a content manager wants to translate or finetune the translation strings added by developers. This often results in merge and versioning issues, when developers and content managers are working on the translation files at the same time.

The Chained Translator package allows translations created by developers to exist separately from translations edited by the content manager in separate lang directories. The library merges the translations of both language directories, where the translations of the content manager (the custom translations) override those of the developer (the default translations). Check the documentation of the Laravel Chained Translator for more info.

There is also a Laravel Nova Chained Translation Manager of this package.

Features

• Save translations of the current environment to separate translation files in a separate language directory to avoid version conflicts.
• Immediately save translations.
• Search for translations and translation keys.
• Filter translations for specific groups and languages.
• Only show keys with missing translations.
• Shows statistics of how many fields are completely translated.

This tool does not provide features to add new translation keys, because our target users are translators and content managers, and we want to avoid that they add unnecessary translation keys.

Installation

Note For Filament 2.x use v1.x version

1. You can install the package via Composer:

2. Register the plugin for the Filament Panels you want:

3. Using this package requires a Filament custom theme. If you do not have one already, you can follow the instructions on the Filament documentation site to create one. Creating a new theme simply publishes the styling for the default Filament panel, so this will not change anything if you are happy with how Filament is styled out of the box. After creating a custom theme, you will need to add the following path to the content array of the generated tailwind.config.js file for the Filament theme:

4. Now run the following command to compile the plugin styles into Filament's stylesheet:

5. Publish the config file then setup your configuration:

Configuration

You can configure the custom language directory name and extend or finetune the service provider of the Laravel Chained Translator. Have a look at the configuration options of the Laravel Chained Translator library.

Supported locales

There are two ways to change the supported locales.

Option 1

Set up the supported locales using the configuration. By default, it will fallback to the locale and fallback locale. However, you can customize the configuration to include additional locales as follows:

Option 2

If your application already has a config that declares your locales than you are able to set the supported locales in any service provider. Create a new one or use the app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php and set the supported locales as an array in the boot function as follows:

Gate

You can restrict access to the Translation Manager by configuring the Gate variable.

Ignoring groups

You can choose to exclude specific groups of translations from appearing in Filament. Create an array with the keys that you wish to ignore:

Navigation Icon

You can customize the navigation icon by configuring the navigation-icon variable

Usage

The library creates a new directory for the new translations, see Laravel Chained Translator. Check the configuration options of the Laravel Chained Translator package to change this.

Additionally, please note that the Translation Manager is automatically included in the Filament menu.

Merging translations

You can combine the custom translations of the current environment with the default translation files, by running the command provided by the Laravel Chained Translator.
