JSON Translation in Laravel
October 24, 2024 · AI Conversations
Here’s how you can set it up:
1. **Create or edit the JSON language file**:
In the `resources/lang` directory, create a JSON file for the desired language, e.g., `en.json` for English.
Example `en.json` file:
{
"Total": "Total"
}
If you're using a different language, you can create a JSON file like `es.json` for Spanish and add the translation there:
{
"Total": "Total en español"
}
2. **Use `__()` helper in Blade or elsewhere**:
You can now use the `{{ __('Total') }}` helper in your Blade views or wherever you need the translation in Laravel.
Example:
<p>{{ __('Total') }}</p>
Laravel will look for the key in the language JSON file, and if found, it will display the translated text based on the application's locale.
Here’s how you can set it up:
1. **Update the JSON file**:
Modify the language JSON file to include a placeholder for the dynamic amount.
For example, in `en.json`:
{
"Total": "Total: :amount"
}
2. **Pass the dynamic amount using the `__()` helper**:
In your Blade view or other parts of your Laravel application, pass the dynamic `amount` like this:
<p>{{ __('Total', ['amount' => $amount]) }}</p>
Here, `$amount` is the dynamic value that you want to display.
### Example
If `$amount = 100`, the output will be:
<p>Total: 100</p>
You can pass any dynamic value as `amount`, and it will replace the `:amount` placeholder in the translation string.
