LocaleDetector

class LocaleDetector

Locales are shorthand 2 letter strings for a language/region.

Methods

string
current()

Get the current locale. At first we try to use the cookie if one is set. If a cookie is not set then we attempt to deduce the locale in this order: url segment, http headers, and finally we fall back to the universal locale which is set in laravel's app.locale (defaults to en).

string
cookie()

Get the locale from a cookie

string
universal()

Get the universal locale set by developer and laravel

string
header()

Get locale from header accept string

string
segment()

We don't use this, but we could use it later if we wanted to. It would get the locale from the first segment of the url, e.g.

string
update(string $locale)

Updates the locale stored in this cookie
