Transcribe is a language files manager in your artisan console, it helps you search, update, add, and remove translation lines with ease. Taking care of a multilingual interface is not a headache anymore.
Laravel Transcribe has been hard-forked from themsaid/laravel-langman in order to maintain and improve the existing library.
Begin by installing the package through Composer. Run the following command in your terminal:
$ composer require nicolasbeauvais/laravel-transcribe
If you're using Laravel 5.5 or higher the package will automatically register itself. If you're using Laravel 5.4 or lower, add the following line in your providers array of config/app.php:
NicolasBeauvais\Transcribe\TranscribeServiceProvider::classThis package has a single configuration option that points to the resources/lang directory, if only you need to change
the path then publish the config file:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="NicolasBeauvais\Transcribe\TranscribeServiceProvider"
php artisan transcribe:show users
You get:
+---------+---------------+-------------+
| key | en | nl |
+---------+---------------+-------------+
| name | name | naam |
| job | job | baan |
+---------+---------------+-------------+
php artisan transcribe:show users.name
Brings only the translation of the name key in all languages.
php artisan transcribe:show users.name.first
Brings the translation of a nested key.
php artisan transcribe:show package::users.name
Brings the translation of a vendor package language file.
php artisan transcribe:show users --lang=en,it
Brings the translation of only the "en" and "it" languages.
php artisan transcribe:show users.nam -c
Brings only the translation lines with keys matching the given key via close match, so searching for nam brings values for
keys like (name, username, branch_name_required, etc...).
In the table returned by this command, if a translation is missing it'll be marked in red.
php artisan transcribe:find 'log in first'
You get a table of language lines where any of the values matches the given phrase by close match.
php artisan transcribe:sync
This command will look into all files in resources/views and app and find all translation keys that are not covered in your translation files, after
that it appends those keys to the files with a value equal to an empty string.
php artisan langman:unused
This command will look into all language files and find all keys that are not used in your view files.
php artisan transcribe:missing
It'll collect all the keys that are missing in any of the languages or has values equals to an empty string, prompt asking you to give a translation for each, and finally save the given values to the files.
php artisan transcribe:trans users.name
php artisan transcribe:trans users.name.first
php artisan transcribe:trans users.name --lang=en
php artisan transcribe:trans package::users.name
Using this command you may set a language key (plain or nested) for a given group, you may also specify which language you wish to set leaving the other languages as is.
This command will add a new key if not existing, and updates the key if it is already there.
php artisan transcribe:remove users.name
php artisan transcribe:remove package::users.name
It'll remove that key from all language files.
php artisan transcribe:rename users.name full_name
This will rename users.name to be users.full_name, the console will output a list of files where the key used to exist.
transcribe:sync, transcribe:missing, transcribe:trans, and transcribe:remove will update your language files by writing them completely, meaning that any comments or special styling will be removed, so I recommend you backup your files.
