Extract Untranslated Strings from Laravel Projects

Localizator is a small tool for Laravel that gives you the ability to extract untranslated strings from project files. It works using the artisan command line and the provided localize command:

1php artisan localize de,fr

The above command will create a de.json and fr.json file in the resources/lang folder or add missing keys if these files already exist.

You can also use the configuration value in app.locale by running the command without arguments:

1# Use the `config('app.locale')` value
2php artisan localize

The package also provides configurable values to suit your project’s needs, along with sensible defaults:

 1return [
 2 
 3    /**
 4     * Search criteria for files.
 5     */
 6    'search' => [
 7        /**
 8         * Directories which should be looked inside.
 9         */
10        'dirs' => ['resources/views'],
11 
12        /**
13         * Patterns by which files should be queried.
14         * The values can be a regular expresion, glob, or just a string.
15         */
16        'patterns' => ['*.php'],
17 
18        /**
19         * Functions that the strings will be extracted from.
20         * Add here any custom defined functions.
21         * NOTE: The translation string should always be the first argument.
22         */
23        'functions' => ['__', 'trans', '@lang']
24    ],
25 
26    /**
27     * Should the localize command sort extracted strings alphabetically?
28     */
29    'sort' => true,
30 
31];
