laravel Localization per user

How do I change the language of each user? For example, some people don't change the language. Some people change the language.

Middleware :

use Closure;
use Auth;

class Localization
  {

   public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
     if(\Session::has('locale')) {
       \App::setLocale(\Session::get('locale'));   
      }
     return $next($request);
    }
  }

Your method is right, no need to change the middleware. You can put the session on user with controller, like this below way.

Route :

Route::get('/lang',[
    'uses' => 'HomeController@lang',
    'as' => 'lang.index'
]);

Controller :

public function lang(Request $request)
{   
   $user = Auth::user()->id;
   $locale = $request->language;
   App::setLocale($locale);
   session()->put('locale', $locale);
   // if you want to save the locale on your user table, you can do it here
   return redirect()->back();
}

Note : I added the GET method on route, so your URI will be like http://127.0.0.1:8000/lang?language=en, and o controller $request->language will catch the language parameter from your Request. You can modify and use POST method instead

Save the locale for each user in database. This way you can override app's default locale to user's preferred locale in the middleware.

public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
 if($user = Auth::user()) {
   App::setLocale($user->locale);   
  }
 return $next($request);
}

If the your application doesn't require user to be authenticated, you can save locale in session for each user when the user change language.
