**If you want to store translations of your models into the database, this package is for you.**

This is a Laravel package for translatable models. Its goal is to remove the complexity in retrieving and storing multilingual model instances. With this package you write less code, as the translations are being fetched/saved when you fetch/save your instance.

The full documentation can be found at [GitBook](https://docs.astrotomic.info/laravel-translatable).

## Installation

```bash
composer require astrotomic/laravel-translatable
```

## Quick Example

### **Getting translated attributes**

```php
$post = Post::first();
echo $post->translate('en')->title; // My first post

App::setLocale('en');
echo $post->title; // My first post

App::setLocale('de');
echo $post->title; // Mein erster Post
```

### **Saving translated attributes**

```php
$post = Post::first();
echo $post->translate('en')->title; // My first post

$post->translate('en')->title = 'My cool post';
$post->save();

$post = Post::first();
echo $post->translate('en')->title; // My cool post
```

### **Filling multiple translations**

```php
$data = [
  'author' => 'Gummibeer',
  'en' => ['title' => 'My first post'],
  'fr' => ['title' => 'Mon premier post'],
];
$post = Post::create($data);

echo $post->translate('fr')->title; // Mon premier post
```

## Treeware

You're free to use this package, but if it makes it to your production environment I would highly appreciate you buying the world a tree.

It’s now common knowledge that one of the best tools to tackle the climate crisis and keep our temperatures from rising above 1.5C is to [plant trees](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-48870920). If you contribute to my forest you’ll be creating employment for local families and restoring wildlife habitats.

You can buy trees at [offset.earth/treeware](https://plant.treeware.earth/Astrotomic/laravel-translatable)
