Laravel 4 multilingual website
I am trying to implement a laravel 4 multilingual site with language code in the url (mywebsite.com/en/home and mywebsite.com/de/home).
I've seen a couple of options like filtering all requests and checking if the first parameter is one of the language code.
I also check the package but didn't find one that already does the type work.
Is there a better way to implement it?
thank

Finally, I created a config variable in config / app.php
'available_language' => array('en', 'fr', 'es'),
In filters.php I am detecting the browser language:
Route::filter('detectLang', function($lang = "auto")
{
if($lang != "auto" && in_array($lang , Config::get('app.available_language')))
{
Config::set('app.locale', $lang);
}else{
$browser_lang = !empty($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']) ? strtok(strip_tags($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']), ',') : '';
$browser_lang = substr($browser_lang, 0,2);
$userLang = (in_array($browser_lang, Config::get('app.available_language'))) ? $browser_lang : Config::get('app.locale');
Config::set('app.locale', $userLang);
}
});
and then in routes.php I can either define the language or force it:
Route::get('/', array(
'before' => 'detectLang()', // auto-detect language
function(){
...
})
);
or
Route::get('/', array(
'before' => 'detectLang("fr")', // force language to "fe"
function(){
...
})
);
