Model

Imaginary, you need to apply translation for Post model.

First, use the Laratrans\Translatable trait in Post model file as bellow:



use Laratrans\Translatable;

class Post extends Model
{
    use Translatable;
}

Next, open your terminal and run the following command to create translation model:

php artisan make:model Translation/PostTranslation

The Translation namespace must be corresponding with translation_namespace in the configuration file. Besides, the suffix of translation model name must be Translation.

Post model need to translate title, description columns. You simple declare the translatedAttributes property in this model.

class Post extends Model
{
    /**
     * The columns are translatable.
     * 
     * @var string[]
    */
    public array $translatedAttributes = ['title', 'description'];
    
    /**
     * The relationships that should always be loaded.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $with = ['translations'];
}

You need to declare eager loading to it work. The package that offers two eager loadings are translations and translation.

If you serialize a translatable model with translations eager loading, the response can be given as bellow:

{
    "id": 1,
    "created_at": "2021-10-07T06:55:46.000000Z",
    "updated_at": "2021-10-07T06:55:46.000000Z",
    "title": "Xin chào thế giới",
    "description": "Đây là bài viết đầu tiên",
    "translations": [
        {
            "post_id": 1,
            "locale": "vi",
            "title": "Xin chào thế giới",
            "description": "Đây là bài viết đầu tiên"
        },
        {
            "post_id": 1,
            "locale": "en",
            "title": "Hello world",
            "description": "This is the first post"
        }
    ]
}

Otherwise, if you use translation eager loading, the response won't contain translations property.

You also hidden a few redundant properties if you want via $hidden property in the model.

class Post extends Model
{
    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = ['post_id'];
}
