Setup

Install the package via Composer :

$ composer require richan-fongdasen/laravel-i18n

Publish package assets

Publish the package asset files using this php artisan command

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="RichanFongdasen\I18n\ServiceProvider"

The command above would create three new files in your application, such as:

• New configuration file /config/i18n.php
• New database migration /database/migrations/0000_00_00_000000_create_languages_table.php
• New languages json file /storage/i18n/languages.json
