Usage

The package can be used by using the delivered trait Jva91\Translation\Traits\TranslationsTrait

class FakeModel extends Model
{
    use TranslationsTrait;
    
    public static $transFields = ['name'];
    // ...

$transFields are the columns in the table. This column must be an integer so the trait can store his translation.key integer in this column. There can be multiple columns in this array.

The trait uses the config('app.locale') setting. The extra translatable locales can be set in the config file translation.php

'locales' => [
    'en_GB'
  ],

To get translation with the default app.locale

$fakeModel->name

To get translation with a default locale

$fakeModel->name_en_GB

To get the translation key integer from the model

$fakeModel->getOriginalTranslationKey('name')

To delete a translation for a specific locale

$fakeModel->deleteForLocale('name', 'nl_NL');
