Array translation strings

$langPath = resource_path('lang/modules/'.$this->moduleNameLower);

if (is_dir($langPath)) {
    $this->loadTranslationsFrom($langPath, $this->moduleNameLower);
    $this->loadJsonTranslationsFrom($langPath);
} else {
    $this->loadTranslationsFrom(module_path($this->moduleName, 'lang'), $this->moduleNameLower);
    $this->loadJsonTranslationsFrom(module_path($this->moduleName, 'lang'));
}

JSON translation strings

To use the translation strings as keys you will need to place a JSON lang file in Modules/ModuleName/resources/lang ie fr.json for French.

The file can contain your language variants:

{
  "Hello World": "Bonjour le monde"
}

By default, modules look for lang/en/messages.php file to tell the module to use JSON translations instead.

Find

if (is_dir($langPath)) {
    $this->loadTranslationsFrom($langPath, $this->moduleNameLower);
} else {
    $this->loadTranslationsFrom(module_path($this->moduleName, ‘Resources/lang’), $this->moduleNameLower);
}

And swap the loadTranslationsFrom to loadJsonTranslationsFrom

Now you can use JSON translations in your controllers and views:

<div>
   <lable for="name">{{ __('Name') }}</lable>
   <input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="{{ old('name') }}">
</div>
     
<div>
   <lable for="subject">{{ __('Subject') }}</lable>
   <input type="text" name="subject" id="subject" value="{{ old('subject') }}">
</div>

The French fr.json file would contain:

{
  "Name": "Nom",
  "Subject": "Sujette",
}
