How to translated URL endpoint in Laravel php?

In Laravel, how can I accomplish url endpoint translation?

I want to translate my endpoint using the language that I have chosen in Ruby on Rails. Is it possible to accomplish this? For instance, when I translate or switch languages in - Englist -> DomainName.com/home, let's say I have the language French -> DomainName.com/maison.

I'm trying to define two different URLs in both languages to do this, but I'd like to discover the most efficient method.

We can achieve this by -

  1. Create Language Files: Create language files for each language you want to support in the resources/lang directory. For example, you might have routes.php files for English and French:

    lang/
    ├── en/
    │   └── routes.php
    └── fr/
        └── routes.php

    // lang/en/routes.php
return [
    'home' => 'home',
];

    // lang/fr/routes.php
return [
    'home' => 'maison',
];

  2. Create a Helper to Translate Routes: Define a helper function to translate route names in your application. Create a helper file (e.g., Helpers.php) if you don't have one, and add the following function:

    // app/Helpers.php
if (!function_exists('langRoute')) {
    function langRoute($value)
    {
        return trans("routes.$value");
    }
}

    Make sure to autoload this file in your composer.json:

    "autoload": {
    "files": [
        "app/Helpers.php"
    ]
}

    Then run composer dump-autoload to refresh the autoloader.

  3. Define Route with Translated Name: In your web.php routes file, use the langRoute helper to define routes with translated names:

    // routes/web.php
use App\Http\Controllers\HomeController;

Route::get(langRoute('home'), [HomeController::class, 'index'])->name('home');

  4. Generate Translated URLs: In your Blade views, use the route function with the translated route name to generate URLs dynamically:

    <a href="{{ route('home') }}">Home</a>

  5. Set Locale in Middleware: Create a middleware to set the application locale based on user preferences or the language specified in the URL:

    
    app()->setLocale($userLocale);
