DO NOT USE YET... MORE INSTRUCTIONS TO COME...

Laravel translatable uses the model events to create update or delete translations associated with a model.

Installation

composer require mikehins/laravel-translatable

Next, you need to publish the migration

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mikehins\Translatable\TranslatableServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"

and the config file

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mikehins\Translatable\TranslatableServiceProvider" --tag="config"

You will need to run the migration to create the translations table

php artisan migrate

You need to edit the configuration file to tell your app which languages you will use

<?php

return [
    'en' => 'English',
    'fr' => 'Français',
];

Usage

To use the package you need to add a trait to your model

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Mikehins\Translatable\Translatable;

class MyModel extends Model
{
	use Translatable;
		
	protected $fillable = ['translatable'];
}

In your forms you need to use an array input called translatable then use the language code as key and then the field name you want to use <input type="text" name="translatable[en][title]" ...

You can specify the value of the field in combination with the old() helper value="{{ old('translatable.en.title', $model->translations->for('title', 'en') ?? null) }}" />

You can also show errors if the validation fail {{ $errors->first('translatable.en.title') }}

Here's a code snippet using bootstrap 4 with tabs

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-2">
        <div class="nav navbar-dark flex-column nav-pills mt-3" id="v-pills-tab" role="tablist" aria-orientation="vertical">
            <a href="#tab-general" data-toggle="tab" class="nav-link rounded-0 active">General</a>
        </div
    </div
    <div class="col-10">
        <div class="tab-content" id="v-pills-tabContent">
            <ul class="nav nav-tabs" id="language">
                @foreach(config('languages') as $code => $language)
                <li class="nav-item">
                    <a href="#language-{{ $code }}" data-toggle="tab" class="nav-link"><img width="18" src="/flags/4x3/{{ $code }}.svg" title="{{ $language }}"/> {{ $language }}</a>
                </li>
                @endforeach
            </ul>
            <div class="tab-content">
                @foreach(config('languages') as $code => $language)
                <div class="tab-pane active" id="language-{{ $code }}">
                    <div class="form-group">
                    <label class="col-sm-2 col-form-label" for="input-name-{{ $code }}">LABEL</label>
                    <div class="col-sm-10">
                        <input type="text" name="translatable[{{ $code }}][name]" value="{{ old('translatable.' . $code . '.name', $model->translations->for('name', $code) ?? null) }}" placeholder="MY TRANSLATABLE FIELD" id="input-name-{{ $code }}" class="form-control{{ $errors->has('translatable.' . $code . '.name') ? ' is-invalid' : '' }}"/>
                        <em class="error invalid-feedback">{{ $errors->first('translatable.' . $code . '.name') }}</em>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Validation

To validate the input you can use the validator like usual

public function store(Request $request)
{
    $rules = [];
    foreach (config('languages') as $code => $language) {
        $rules = array_merge($rules, [
            'translatable.' . $code . '.title' => 'required|max:255',
            'translatable.' . $code . '.body'  => 'required',
        ]);
    };
    
    $validatedData = $request->validate(array_merge($rules, [
        'other' => 'required',
        'field' => 'required',
    ]));
    ...

Or inside a form request validator

public function rules()
{
    $rules = [];
    
    foreach (config('languages') as $code => $language) {
        $rules = array_merge($rules, [
            'translatable.' . $code . '.title' => 'required',
            'translatable.' . $code . '.body'  => 'required',
        ]);
    };
    
    return $rules;
}

public function messages()
{
    $messages = [];
    
    foreach (config('languages') as $code => $language) {
        $messages = array_merge($messages, [
            'translatable.' . $code . '.name:required'        => trans('validation.required'),
            'translatable.' . $code . '.description:required' => trans('validation.required'),
        ]);
    };
    
    return $messages;
}
