Multilanguage projects are quite easy to configure in Laravel, but if you want to have locale as part of URL, like /en/about, then you will have trouble with Auth::routes(), they won’t work by default like /en/register. This article will show you what to do.
If you prefer to watch video tutorials, here’s the video live-coding version of this article.
Step 1. Project Preparation.
First, we generate a default Laravel 5.7 project with laravel new laravel, and then run these commands:
php artisan make:auth
php artisan migrateSo, we have default Auth views in resources/views/auth, and also changed main resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php with Login/Register links.
Step 2. Route::group() for Locales
Next, we will add Route::group() for all possible URLs – so all the pages inside of the project will have prefix of /[locale]/[whatever_page]. Here’s how it looks in routes/web.php:
Route::group(['prefix' => '{locale}'], function() {
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
});
Auth::routes();
Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index')->name('home');
});All the routes above were pre-generated, we just moved them inside of our Route::group().
This group will cover such URLs like /en/ or /en/home or /en/register.
Now, for validation purposes let’s set {locale} to be only two letters, like en or fr or de. We add a regular-expression based rule inside of the group:
Route::group([
'prefix' => '{locale}',
'where' => ['locale' => '[a-zA-Z]{2}']
], function() { // ...Step 3. Setting App Locale with Middleware
People often think that Middleware classes are about restricting some access. But you can do more actions inside these classes. In our example, we will set app()->setLocale().
php artisan make:middleware SetLocaleThis command will generate app/Http/Middleware/SetLocale.php, where we need to add only one line of code:
class SetLocale
{
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
app()->setLocale($request->segment(1));
return $next($request);
}
}
Variable $request->segment(1) will contain our {locale} part of the URL, so we set the app locale on all requests.
Of course, we need to register this class in app/Http/Kernel.php to the $routeMiddleware array:
protected $routeMiddleware = [
'auth' => \App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
// ...
'setlocale' => \App\Http\Middleware\SetLocale::class,
];
Finally, we will apply this middleware to the whole locale group we created above:
Route::group([
'prefix' => '{locale}',
'where' => ['locale' => '[a-zA-Z]{2}'],
'middleware' => 'setlocale'], function() { // ...
Step 4. Automated Redirect of Homepage
We need to add another line to routes/web.php – to redirect the user from non-localed homepage to /en/ homepage. This route will be outside of the Route::group() we created above:
Route::get('/', function () {
return redirect(app()->getLocale());
});This will redirect user from yourdomain.com to yourdomain.com/en, which will show default Welcome page.
Step 5. Add Locale Parameter to All Existing Links
Currently, if we click Login or Register link on top-right of our homepage, we will see an error like this:
The problem is that all views generated by make:auth command don’t know about locale at all. But we have put Auth::routes() under locale route group, so now ALL URLs should follow that rule and have locale parameter.
So we need to edit all the views in resources/views/auth and change all route() calls to pass one more parameter of app()->getLocale(). For example, this is the change in resources/views/auth/register.blade.php:
Line 11 – Before:
<form method="POST" action="{{ route('register') }}">
Line 11 – After:
<form method="POST" action="{{ route('register', app()->getLocale()) }}">
Same for other views, like resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php – we add parameter to all login/register/logout routes:
@guest
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="{{ route('login', app()->getLocale()) }}">{{ __('Login') }}</a>
</li>
@if (Route::has('register'))
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="{{ route('register', app()->getLocale()) }}">{{ __('Register') }}</a>
</li>
@endif
@else
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a id="navbarDropdown" class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" role="button" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false" v-pre>
{{ Auth::user()->name }} <span class="caret"></span>
</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="{{ route('logout', app()->getLocale()) }}"
onclick="event.preventDefault();
document.getElementById('logout-form').submit();">
{{ __('Logout') }}
</a>
<form id="logout-form" action="{{ route('logout', app()->getLocale()) }}" method="POST" style="display: none;">
@csrf
</form>
</div>
</li>
@endguest
Now, our register form will work under /en/register URL.
Step 6. Login and Register – Override $redirectTo with Locales
Next, if we do fill login or register form successfully, we will be redirected to /home URL – that’s a default Laravel setting. It won’t work in our case, because all URLs should have locale. So we need to add locale to the redirect URL.
To do that, we go to app/Http/Controllers/Auth/RegisterController.php and take a look at $redirectTo property:
class RegisterController extends Controller
{
protected $redirectTo = '/home';
Not sure if you know, but you can override not only the property itself, but also create a method redirectTo() which would override the property value. It allows you to add any more complicated custom logic for redirection – for example, if you want to redirect different roles of users to different routes.
In our case, all we need to do is add a locale to the route:
public function redirectTo()
{
return app()->getLocale() . '/home';
}
The same applies to app/Http/Controllers/Auth/LoginController.php, so we will copy-paste redirectTo() method there, too.
Now, after successful registration, you should land here:
Step 7. Choosing Language in TopBar
It’s pretty weird to have this visual step only now, but I wanted to get to “how it works” before showing “how it looks”.
Now, let’s implement a language choice in the header visually. Like this – see three languages on top:
It’s actually pretty simple, as we have all the system ready for it.
First, let’s define the array of possible languages, in config/app.php we will add an array of available_locales:
// ...
'locale' => 'en',
'available_locales' => [
'en',
'de',
'fr'
],Then, in the top section of resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php we add this @foreach loop:
<!-- Right Side Of Navbar -->
<ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto">
@foreach (config('app.available_locales') as $locale)
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link"
href="{{ route(\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route::currentRouteName(), $locale) }}"
@if (app()->getLocale() == $locale) style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline" @endif>{{ strtoupper($locale) }}</a>
</li>
@endforeach
A few things to comment here:
- We’re taking the list of languages from config(‘app.available_locales’) that we had just created above;
- We’re giving the href link to the same current route but with a different language – for that we’re using Route::currentRouteName() method;
- Also we’re checking for active current language with app()->getLocale() == $locale condition;
- Finally, we’re showing the language itself in uppercase mode with strtoupper($locale).
Step 8. Filling in Translations
This is the goal we’ve been working for – so that /en/register URL would show form in English, and /de/register – in German language.
Let’s keep our en locale as default, and we need to fill in the translations for other languages.
If you look at resources/views/auth/login.blade.php file and other views, they all use underscore __() method to get the texts, see examples below:
<div class="card-header">{{ __('Login') }}</div>
<label for="email" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-right">{{ __('E-Mail Address') }}</label>
<label for="password" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-right">{{ __('Password') }}</label>
<label class="form-check-label" for="remember">
{{ __('Remember Me') }}
</label>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">
{{ __('Login') }}
</button>
<a class="btn btn-link" href="{{ route('password.request', app()->getLocale()) }}">
{{ __('Forgot Your Password?') }}
</a>So, all we need to do is to fill in the files in other languages. Let’s create a file resources/lang/fr.json and fill in some translations:
{
"Login": "Se connecter",
"E-Mail Address": "E-mail",
"Password": "Mot de passe",
"Remember Me": "Se souvenir de moi",
"Forgot Your Password?": "Mot de passe oublié?"
}Notice: I’m not French, these translations are taken from one client project, don’t judge if translation is wrong 🙂
Final visual result, if we hit a Login link on a French language:
That’s it!
You can find full code repository for this project here on Github.
Don’t worry, your french translations are good 🙂
Great and nice tutorial.
“Merci”
FYI, When you log out you get an error for the locale parameter.
Hi Kevin, thanks for the comment. Didn’t reproduce that one, are you sure you added this in app.blade.php? {{ route(‘logout’, app()->getLocale()) }}
I have that in my app.blade.php, the error only happens when I am not logded in. When I go to localhost:8000, it redirects to localhost:8000/en and gives this error:
“Missing required parameters for [Route: login] [URI: {locale}/login].”

Could you debug the error further and see in which file exactly it’s missing locale? Info should be in storage/logs/laravel.log.
Here it is in the log:

Ok could you search through all project (like in PHPStorm there’s right-click -> “Find in Path”) for “route(‘login’)”? I guess it can be somewhere in core middlewares of Laravel vendor.
I found the culprit. The route(‘login’) is in the protected function unauthenticated($request, AuthenticationException $exception) located at E:\xampp\htdocs\funding_app\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler.php
Great article, all works nice!
Can I ask you, how to make it works with email verify ?
I get stuck when clicking on recived email link or trying to access url like:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/1553090303/email/verify/4?signature=b33f399969fe14bb98f7b27eaa83b73519166e3c4b36828893e4d96e5a5acb64
Thank you
in advance
(yes, working on local and mailtrap)
Hi Raül
To be honest, I didn’t try with email verification, so you would have to modify default functionality to achieve it, unfortunately don’t have a short answer for you.
Ok! thank you,
keep on coding 😉
customizing the function on VerifyEmail works ^^:
protected function verificationUrl($notifiable)
{
return URL::temporarySignedRoute(
‘verification.verify’,
Carbon::now()->addMinutes(Config::get(‘auth.verification.expire’, 60)),
[‘id’ => $notifiable->getKey(), ‘locale’ => app()->getLocale()]
);
}
Awesome!
Hi dear Ràul ,
Where did you do this?
Thanks for sharing this Povilas!
Hi great article. thanks . But some problems happened. i cannot get example.com/post/example-slug when i try => example.com/en/post/example-slug error happen too… example.com/en/blog is working but blog posts with slug and pages with slug is not working how to fix ?
web.php
=====================================
Route::get(‘/’, function () {
return redirect(app()->getLocale());
});
Route::group([
‘prefix’ => ‘{locale}’,
‘where’ => [‘locale’ => ‘[a-zA-Z]{2}’],
‘middleware’ => ‘setlocale’
], function() {
Route::get(‘page/{slug}’, function($slug){
$page = App\Page::where(‘slug’, ‘=’, $slug)->firstOrFail();
$pages = App\Page::where(‘status’,’ACTIVE’)->get();
return view(‘page’, compact(‘page’,’pages’));
});
});
==============================================
Hey Povilas, hope you are well.
Thank you for this guide, I was wondering to know how did you manage to make the password reset work.
I am kinda stuck here, I got two issues, I hope you can help with that.
1. On the reset.blade.php view, the request returns the locale “en” instead of the password reset token value.
2. In the email body the link structure is incorrect.
If I dd($request->all()) on the ResetPasswordController@reset method this is what I get:
“`
array:5 [▼
“_token” => “YrwPp06e6dV3iVlyQ59y1lvcNvOwCoQr0bIyAwgX”
“token” => “en”
“email” => “mail@admin.com”
“password” => “password”
“password_confirmation” => “password”
]
“`
the input on the reset.blade.php template looks like this:
But when I inspect it with chrome dev tools it’s like so:
The structure of the reset link inside the email body is formatted like so: localhost/long_token_string_here/password/reset, instead of localhost:8000/en/password/reset/long_token_string_here
This are my routes
“`
Route::group(
[
‘prefix’ => ‘{locale}’,
‘where’ => [‘locale’ => ‘[a-zA-Z]{2}’],
‘middleware’ => ‘setLocale’
],
function () {
Route::get(‘/password/email/’, ‘Auth\ForgotPasswordController@showLinkRequestForm’)->name(‘password.email’);
Route::post(‘/password/email/’, ‘Auth\ForgotPasswordController@sendResetLinkEmail’)->name(‘password.email’);
Route::get(‘/password/reset/{token}’, ‘Auth\ResetPasswordController@showResetForm’)->name(‘password.reset’);
Route::post(‘/password/reset/’, ‘Auth\ResetPasswordController@reset’)->name(‘password.reset’);
});
“`
Thanks

Hi Fabio,
Unfortunately I don’t have a quick answer for you, nothing obvious here, would need to debug your code with full project and then maybe would find something. But I don’t have such “service” as debugging errors for someone.
Hello Povilas,
Thank you very much for this great tutorial!
Have a question related to: Step 4. Automated Redirect of Homepage
When I go to non-localed homepage, (e.g. laravel.test), I am getting the following error message:
ErrorException (E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR)
Object of class Illuminate\Routing\Redirector could not be converted to string
Trying to find the reason for this, but without success.
Could you please help?
Thank you very much and best regards,
Bratislav
Hi Bratislav,
Sorry, I haven’t seen that error before, so not sure what you did wrong, I can’t debug it for you remotely.
There is a possibility that I did something wrong, too (or Laravel updated something), but so far other users didn’t complain about this part.
Hi Povilas,
Thank you for the quick reply.
Will try to explore more on my own.
Best regards,
Bratislav
Hey Povilas, really cool tutorial!
I would like to ask you about your language switcher with possible parameters in routes?
When I using some route like ” {locale}/company/{id}/edit “, languages switcher lost second parameter {id} from url address.
How is possible to solve this? How to let switcher know about other few parameters?
Good question Oleg. My article covered the basic idea, but for deeper examples like yours you need to adapt it yourself, I guess. Probably extend the language switcher to accept more parameters? Not sure, unfortunately it won’t be a one-line answer.
Thank you, Povilas for your answer & good tutorial article!
@oleg: you can pass array as second parameter like this:
route(‘company.edit’, [‘id’ => $company->id, ‘locale’ => app()->getLocale()]
In the case of the language switcher, you can replace Povilas code for this one:
@foreach (config(‘app.all_langs’) as $locale)
parameters(),[‘locale’=> $locale])) }}”
@if (app()->getLocale() == $locale) style=”font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline” @endif>{{ $locale }}
@endforeach
It will replace in the route the locale and leave the rest as it is in the current page.
My previous comment got removed the html to it, I’ll be more clear. Just change the current href code inside the foreach loop of your language switcher for this:
route(\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route::currentRouteName(),array_merge(Route::current()->parameters(),[‘locale’=> $locale]))
Hello Povilas,
Here I am again.
I have managed to make my application work properly, based on the inputs from your tutorial.
Have additional question, again related to: Step 4. Automated Redirect of Homepage.
When I go to non-localed homepage, (e.g. laravel.test), I would like to be:
1. redirected to /en/ homepage (default locale), when visiting site for the first time, or
2. redirected to the language, I chose during the previous site visit.
I understand that there should be some playing with the locale value saved in session.
If you have anything to be shared, related to this approach, I will be very thankful.
Thank you very much and best regards,
Bratislav
Hi Bratislav,
Not sure what exactly you need help with, it’s pretty straightforward:
Route::get(‘/’, ‘HomepageController@redirect’);
And then inside of that redirect() method use some if-else logic and return redirect()->route(‘some_language_route’);
Hi Povilas,
Yes. You were right. It was straight forward.
Thank you very much.
Bratislav
Step 4:
Route::get(‘/’, function () {
if(\Session::has(‘locale’))
{
$language = session()->get(‘locale’);
return redirect($language);
} else {
return redirect(app()->getLocale());
}
});
