];

.env[queue section]

QUEUE_CONNECTION=database

After your configuration done, please ensure the your queue is up and running. Simple way is run

php artisan queue:work --queue=translation &
php artisan queue:work --queue=cite &

and make it running all the time in the background.

Mark the Cited Code Feature

You could follow up on the translation later by setup the web interface to fine-tuning the interpretations. However, sometimes it's difficult to recall where the terms are used. You can turn on the feature of cite, and it will help you to record the place you cited the term in your code.

Define Your Own Translator

You can define your own translator by reference the code below, and set it in config.

<?php

namespace TopviewDigital\TranslationHelper\Service;

use Campo\UserAgent;
use Stichoza\GoogleTranslate\GoogleTranslate;
use TopviewDigital\TranslationHelper\Interfaces\TranslatorInterface;

class GoogleTranslator implements TranslatorInterface
{
    protected $break = 0;
    protected $called = 0;
    protected $word;
    protected $source_locale = null;
    protected $target_locale;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->target_locale = config('app.locale');
    }

    public function word(string $word)
    {
        $this->word = $word;
        return $this;
    }

    public function targetLocale(string $target_locale)
    {
        $this->target_locale = $target_locale;
        return $this;
    }

    public function sourceLocale(string $source_locale)
    {
        $this->source_locale = $source_locale;
        return $this;
    }

    public function translate()
    {
        $translated = '';
        $translator = new GoogleTranslate();
        try {
            $translated = is_null($this->source_locale)
                ? $translator
                ->setSource()
                ->setTarget($this->target_locale)
                ->translate($this->word)
                : $translator
                ->setSource($this->source_locale)
                ->setTarget($this->target_locale)
                ->translate($this->word);
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            return null;
        }
        return $translated;
    }
}

Usage

For the following examples

Translation

You can wrap your strings, NO parameters invovled, in helper function localize()

$form->select('mode', localize('项目模式'))->options([localize('1对1单人模式'), localize('团队多人模式')]);

And the helper will translate the string into relavent languages accroding to your current locale of laravel user while you have laravel queue function enabled and queue default is running in background.

Sweep

As the process of development the strings in the code changes a lot, you may manually run command

php artisan trans-helper:sweep

or call the sweep action in your code by helper function sweep()

And you also can manually trigger the auto translation without/before running your code by calling command

php artisan trans-helper:trans

or call the translation in your code by calling helper function translate($locales=[]), the inbound parameter is the locale codes you want to translate like ['en','zh-CN','br','de'...], default locales are the config('app.locale'), config('app.fallback_locale'), config('app.faker_locale').

Export

You can use the translation feature without text lang files, you really need them. You can use export command to get them

php artisan trans-helper:export

or call it in your code or tinker enviroment by helper command export($path=null,$locales=null), it will help your to export all locales that has translated in the tables or the locales that your assigned. Noticed: if the locale that you assigned not have any tranlsations yet, it will use the translations of locale config('app.locale').

The export language files will named with the helper function localize() called file namespace.

Hope you enjoy it! Thanks!
