Laravel 9 Localization Guide Example Tutorial
In this example, I will show you laravel 9 localization example. this example will help you laravel 9 localization switch language. Here you will learn laravel 9 localization set language. I would like to show you localization implementation in laravel 9 with language switcher. follow bellow step for laravel 9 multiple localization.
In this example, we will create three languages English, Spanish and French website with translation. we will use laravel localization to add a translation for label. Then we will create middleware to manage dynamic language. We will create one blade file with a dropdown where we can select a language and it will work dynamically. so let's see the below steps:
So, let's follow few step to adding multi language support in laravel.
Step 1: Install Laravel 9
This is optional; however, if you have not created the laravel app, then you may go ahead and execute the below command:
composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app
Step 2: Create Lang Files
In this step, we simply need to create following folders and files for english, france and spanish language files in lang folder.
let's create files as bellow listed:
resources/lang/en/messages.php
<?php
return [
'title' => 'This is English Language Title.',
];
resources/lang/fr/messages.php
<?php
return [
'title' => 'Ceci est le titre fr langue anglaise.',
];
resources/lang/sp/messages.php
<?php
return [
'title' => "Il s'agit du titre en langue espagnole.",
];

Step 3: Create Routes
In this step, we will create two routes one for display dashboard page with language dropdown and another for you can change language logic.
so add bellow routes.
routes/web.php
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\LangController;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
Route::get('lang/home', [LangController::class, 'index']);
Route::get('lang/change', [LangController::class, 'change'])->name('changeLang');
Step 4: Create LangController Controller
In this point, now we should create new controller as LangController. this controller will manage layout and change language dynamically logic, so put bellow content in controller file:
app/Http/Controllers/LangController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App;
class LangController extends Controller
{
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function index()
{
return view('lang');
}
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function change(Request $request)
{
App::setLocale($request->lang);
session()->put('locale', $request->lang);
return redirect()->back();
}
}
Step 5: Create View
In Last step, let's create lang.blade.php(resources/views/lang.blade.php) for layout and we will write design code here and put following code:
resources/views/lang.blade.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>How to Create Multi Language Website in Laravel - ItSolutionStuff.com</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<h1>How to Create Multi Language Website in Laravel - ItSolutionStuff.com</h1>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-2 col-md-offset-6 text-right">
<strong>Select Language: </strong>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<select class="form-control changeLang">
<option value="en" {{ session()->get('locale') == 'en' ? 'selected' : '' }}>English</option>
<option value="fr" {{ session()->get('locale') == 'fr' ? 'selected' : '' }}>France</option>
<option value="sp" {{ session()->get('locale') == 'sp' ? 'selected' : '' }}>Spanish</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
<h1>{{ __('messages.title') }}</h1>
</div>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var url = "{{ route('changeLang') }}";
$(".changeLang").change(function(){
window.location.href = url + "?lang="+ $(this).val();
});
</script>
</html>
Step 6: Create Middleware
In this file we need to create one middleware that will manage dynamic language that we selected on dropdown. so let's create middleware using bellow language.
php artisan make:middleware LanguageManager
Now you have to update middleware file like bellow:
app/Http/Middleware/LanguageManager.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use App;
class LanguageManager
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @param \Closure $next
* @return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
if (session()->has('locale')) {
App::setLocale(session()->get('locale'));
}
return $next($request);
}
}
Now we need to register it to kernel file. so let's add it as bellow:
app/Http/Kernel.php
<?php
namespace App\Http;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Kernel as HttpKernel;
class Kernel extends HttpKernel
{
....
/**
* The application's route middleware groups.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $middlewareGroups = [
'web' => [
\App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
\Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
\Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
\Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\LanguageManager::class,
],
'api' => [
'throttle:60,1',
\Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
],
];
...
