Laravel Translations

Cover

#Introduction

Laravel Translations provides a beautiful UI for managing your application's translations. Import, edit, search, and export translations — all from a clean dashboard. No npm or Vite required in your project.

#Installation

Requirements: PHP 8.3+ and Laravel 11.x or 12.x

composer require outhebox/laravel-translations

Run the install command to publish assets, config, and migrations:

php artisan translations:install

Run migrations:

php artisan migrate

Visit /translations in your browser.

#Usage

#Importing Translations

php artisan translations:import

To overwrite existing translations:

php artisan translations:import --fresh

#Exporting Translations

Export from the UI or via command:

php artisan translations:export

#Check Status

php artisan translations:status

#Configuration

Publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=translations-config

This publishes config/translations.php where you can configure the path, middleware, authentication, source language, import/export settings, and more.

#Updating

After updating the package, re-publish the assets:

php artisan translations:update

You can automate this in your composer.json:

{
    "scripts": {
        "post-update-cmd": ["@php artisan translations:update --ansi"]
    }
}

#Upgrading from v1

v2 is a full rewrite with a new frontend (React/Inertia), new database structure, and updated namespace. Click to expand upgrade instructions.

#Steps

Update the package:

composer require outhebox/laravel-translations:^2.0

Run the upgrade command to migrate your v1 data:

php artisan translations:upgrade

This will detect your v1 tables, migrate languages, groups, keys, and translations to the new structure.

Clean up old tables (optional):

php artisan translations:upgrade --cleanup

Publish the new assets:

php artisan translations:install

#Breaking Changes

Namespace: Outhebox\TranslationsUI is now Outhebox\Translations
Frontend: Vue has been replaced with React (no action needed — assets are pre-compiled)
Database: New table structure — run the upgrade command above
Config: New structure — re-publish with --tag=translations-config
