Directory Structure

• Now, let's create a language file for our package. Create a lang folder in the packages/Webkul/Blog/src/Resources path.

• Inside the lang folder, you can create different folders for language translations. For example, you can create folders for English ('en'), Hindi ('hi'), etc. For now, let's create a folder named en (representing the language code). Inside the en folder, create a file named app.php for language translation.

  └── packages
      └── Webkul
          └── Blog
              └── src
                  ├── ...
                  └── Resources
                      ├── ...
                      └── lang
                          └── en
                              └── app.php
  

• Now, let's write a translation in app.php as follows:

  <?php
  
  return [
      'admin' => [
          'name' => 'John Doe'
      ]
  ];
  

Load Translation from Package

• We need to register the language file in the service provider.

  <?php
  
  namespace Webkul\Blog\Providers;
  
  use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
  
  class BlogServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
  {
     /**
      * Bootstrap services.
      *
      * @return void
      */
      public function boot()
      {
          //... 
  
          $this->loadTranslationsFrom(__DIR__ . '/../Resources/lang', 'blog');
      }
  }
  

• Add the following code to your Blade file:

  {{ __('blog::app.admin.name') }}
