Laravel Localization Management & API (PHP Array)

Localization.One offers native support for PHP and Laravel workflows. Stop copy-pasting arrays and dealing with syntax errors. Export your translations directly as native PHP files ready for your lang/ directory.

Why Developers choose our Laravel API?

  • Native PHP Arrays: We generate valid PHP files returning an array (return [ 'key' => 'value' ];), which is the standard for Laravel and Symfony.
  • Syntax Safe: Single quotes (') are automatically escaped (\'), ensuring your application never crashes due to a syntax error in a language file.
  • Zero Overhead: No need to parse JSON at runtime. Use native PHP performance for your localization.

Advanced Project Management

Keep your backend localization organized and scalable.

File Organization: Use Categories to group strings into logical files (e.g., auth, pagination, messages) to match Laravel's directory structure.

Labels & Tags: Mark strings with custom labels like "Email Templates" or "Validation" to filter exports.

Roles & Permissions: Invite content managers to edit text without giving them access to your codebase.

Webhooks: Trigger deployment scripts automatically when translations are updated.

How to Integrate

Option 1: Manual Export (UI)

Useful for quick updates or checking content.

  1. Go to your Project Dashboard.
  2. Click the Download button.
  3. Select Laravel PHP from the format dropdown.
  4. Choose the language and download the .php file.

Option 2: Automate with API (CI/CD)

Fetch the latest translations using a simple command in your deployment script (Envoyer, Forge, or custom shell script). Pass the format=php-array parameter.

# Download English messages
curl "https://api.localization.one/{YOUR_API_KEY}/getTranslations?translation_language=1&format=php-array" > lang/en/messages.php

# Download Spanish messages
curl "https://api.localization.one/{YOUR_API_KEY}/getTranslations?translation_language=2&format=php-array" > lang/es/messages.php

Option 3: Push via Webhooks

Configure a Webhook URL in your project settings to receive notifications about translation updates.

  • Quick Updates: Your server receives a POST request shortly after changes (usually within 5 minutes).
  • Sync CMS: Automatically update content on your backend without polling the API.
  • Cache Clearing: Use the webhook to trigger php artisan optimize:clear or similar commands after updating language files.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I save the file?

For modern Laravel versions (9+), save the downloaded file to lang/{locale}/messages.php. For older versions, use resources/lang/{locale}/messages.php.

Does it support parameters?

Yes. You can include standard Laravel placeholders (e.g., :name, :count) in your translation strings. Our editor preserves them exactly as written.
