Not working with cached routes

[Casinelli]

Any way to make it work with cached routes? (using php artisan route:cache)

Not sure if it will work with sessions and route translations, but try this:

In your routes.php, set the localized group prefix to '{locale?}', instead of Localization::setLocale(), and add set_locale middleware before other localization middlewares:

Route::group(

  [
    'middleware' => ['set_locale', 'localizationRedirect', 'localeSessionRedirect'],
    'prefix' => '{locale?}'
  ],

  function()
  {
      Route::get('/',         'HomeController@getIndex');
  }
);

The set_locale middleware, added to your kernel, will grab the locale? parameter and set it as the current locale:

class SetLocale implements Middleware {


  public function handle($request, Closure $next)
  {

    $locale = $request->route('locale');
    Localization::setLocale($locale);
    return $next($request);
  }
}

Thanks! It works for setting up the routes correctly, but now using URL::route() gives the link without including the locale. For example using the 'it' language, and doing URL::route('profile'), I get /profile, instead of /it/profile. Trying to override the UrlGenerator now, though not sure it's the best way to go about it.

Yeah, I can see how this solution could break a few things. A workaround is to send the current locale as a parameter to the url generator.

URL::route( 'profile', [ 'locale' => LaravelLocalization::getCurrentLocale() ] )

I made this helper function to get a localized URL:

function route_local($name, $parameters = array(), $absolute = true, $route = null)
  {

    $parameters = array_merge($parameters, ['locale' => (string) LaravelLocalization::getCurrentLocale()]);

    return app('url')->route($name, $parameters, $absolute, $route);
  }

I'm having the same problem but change the route generates an error. "Class set_locale does not exist".
