What is Language Management?

Undergoing continuous enhancements, this package evolves each day, integrating an array of diverse features. It stands as an indispensable asset for enthusiasts of Laravel, offering a seamless way to manage multiple languages, locales, calendar systems, and text directions in your application.

In traditional Laravel applications, implementing language management often involves creating custom language tables manually, writing complex queries to filter and sort languages, and managing locale settings manually. This approach becomes limiting when you need to support multiple calendar systems, handle RTL languages, or integrate with various internationalization features.

Laravel Language solves these challenges by providing a unified system that works seamlessly with Laravel's localization features. You can manage languages, locales, text directions, calendar systems, and formatting preferences—all with the same simple API. The package handles validation, events, middleware, and querying, making it perfect for applications that need comprehensive language management.

Consider a multi-language application that needs to support Persian (Jalali calendar, RTL), Arabic (Hijri calendar, RTL), and English (Gregorian calendar, LTR). With Laravel Language, you can implement this functionality quickly and easily, with built-in support for calendar systems, text directions, and event-driven caching. The power of language management lies not only in flexible calendar support but also in making it easy to query, validate, and extend language functionality throughout your application.
