Generates pseudo language files from another locale to make it easy to see what still needs translating.

Having a fake language that reads in your native language can make it easier to keep tracking of what is missing translation as you make changes to your project.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require fidum/laravel-translation-faker

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="translation-faker-config"

Click here to see the contents of the config file.

You should read through the config, which serves as additional documentation and make changes as needed.

Usage

Just simply run the command with the first argument being the fake locale name you want to use.

$ php artisan translation:fake --help

Usage:
  translation:fake [options] [--] <locale>

Arguments:
  locale                         The output locale to store faked language files.

Options:
  -b, --baseLocale[=BASELOCALE]  The base locale to copy language files from.
  ...
  -v|vv|vvv, --verbose           Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal output, 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug

If you are going to display this fake language on your system and are planning to also use the locale to control date / currency formats then I recommend that you use a real locale as your fake language.

For example, below our fake language will be generated using the danish da locale:

$ php artisan translation:fake da

   INFO  Translations successfully generated from 'en' to 'da'.  

By default the locale the command will come from will be from thetranslation-faker.default value (which is defaulted to en).

If you want to use a different base locale when running the command then you can provide it using the --baseLocale=de or shorthand --bde.

$ php artisan translation:fake da --baseLocale=de

   INFO  Translations successfully generated from 'de' to 'da'.  

Note: You must configure your replacer for the custom locale in translation-faker.replacers config.

You can get more verbose output using the -v option:

$ php artisan translation:fake da -v
