Introducing our Filament translation management tool, which allows you to easily manage, preview, and sync translations with your language files all within your Filament admin dashboard. Say goodbye to relying on developers to edit language files and streamline your localization workflow today.

#Installation

You can install the package via composer:

Install via Composer.

composer require kenepa/translation-manager

You can run the following command to publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=translation-manager-config

This package uses spatie/laravel-translation-loader, publish their migration file using:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\TranslationLoader\TranslationServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"

You have to update the migration file to the following:

Schema::create('language_lines', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->bigIncrements('id');
    $table->string('group')->index();
    $table->string('key')->index();
    $table->json('text')->default(new \Illuminate\Database\Query\Expression('(JSON_ARRAY())'));
    $table->timestamps();
});

Finally, run the migration.

#Custom Theme Required

In order to compile the package views correctly, we need to create a custom Filament theme first, and then add the following path to its content:

// Located at: /resources/css/filament/admin/tailwind.config.js

import preset from '../../../../vendor/filament/filament/tailwind.config.preset';

export default {
    presets: [preset],
    content: [
        // other content...
        './vendor/kenepa/translation-manager/resources/**/*.blade.php',
    ],
};

#Register the plugin with a panel

use Kenepa\TranslationManager\TranslationManagerPlugin;
use Filament\Panel;
 
class AdminPanelProvider extends PanelProvider
{
    public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
    {
        return $panel
            // ...
            ->plugin(TranslationManagerPlugin::make());
    }
}

#Authorization

By default, the translation manager cannot be used by anyone. You need to define the following gate in your AppServiceProvider boot method:

// app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;

/**
 * Bootstrap any application services.
 */
public function boot(): void
{   
    Gate::define('use-translation-manager', function (?User $user) {
        // Your authorization logic
        return $user !== null && $user->hasRole('admin');
    });
}

If you want to learn more about gates, check out the official documentation.

#Configuration

#available_locales

Determines which locales your application supports. For example:

'available_locales' => [
    ['code' => 'en', 'name' => 'English', 'flag' => 'gb'],
    ['code' => 'nl', 'name' => 'Nederlands', 'flag' => 'nl'],
    ['code' => 'de', 'name' => 'Deutsch', 'flag' => 'de']
]

#language_switcher

Enable or disable the language switcher feature. This allows users to switch their language - disable if you have your own implementation.

#dont_register_navigation_on_panel_ids

Disable registering the translation manager navigation on certain panel IDs. The following will disable the translation navigation for the guest panel but still allow guest panel users to change the language.

    'dont_register_navigation_on_panel_ids' => [
        'guest'
    ],

#Adding to cluster

Example of adding the translation manager to a cluster:

// config/translation-manager.php
[
  // ...Other config   
 'cluster' => \App\Filament\Clusters\Products::class,
]

#Usage

Once installed, the Translation Manager can be accessed via the Filament sidebar menu. Simply click on the "Translation Manager" link to access the translation management screen.
