I'm trying to make a drop-down menu to change the language of the application but I have not succeeded.
In this file app.blade.php cargo Bootstrap, jquery and the drop-down menu.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">

<body>
{{-- se incluye la vista de menu de navegacion --}}
@include('partials.navigation')
<div id="app">
<main class="py-4">
{{-- se verifica si se ha creado una sesion mesage en la posicion cero que significa danger --}}
@if(session('message'))
<div class="row justify-center">
<div class="col-md-10">
<div class="alert alert-{{session('message')[0]}}">
<h4 class="alert-heading">{{__("Mensaje informatio")}}</h4>
{{-- se imprime el mesanje de la sesion en la posicion uno q esta en el logincontroller --}}
<p>{{session('message')[1]}}</p>
</div>

@endif
@yield('content')

</html>
This is the navigation.blade.php file that is in the directory: views/layouts/partials/
<a class="navbar-brand" href="{{url('/')}}">
{{config('app.name')}}
</a>
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarContent">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarContent">
{{-- navegacion parte izquierda --}}
<ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
</ul>
{{-- navegacion parte derecha --}}
<ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto">
{{-- menu desplegable para seleccionar idioma --}}
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a href="#" class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" id="navbarDropdownMenuLink" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
{{ __("Selecciona un idioma")}}
</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdownMenuLink">
<a
class="dropdown-item"
href="{{ route('set_Language',['es'])}}">
{{ __("Español")}}
</a>
<a
class="dropdown-item"
href="{{ route('set_Language',['en'])}}">
{{ __("Ingles")}}
</a>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
file web.php where I record the path to select the language:
<?php
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
});
//ruta para seleccionar idioma
Route::get('/set_Language/{lang}', 'Controller@setLanguage')->name('set_Language');
the controller.php file where I run the setLanguage method
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Bus\DispatchesJobs;
use Illuminate\Routing\Controller as BaseController;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Validation\ValidatesRequests;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\Access\AuthorizesRequests;
class Controller extends BaseController
{
use AuthorizesRequests, DispatchesJobs, ValidatesRequests;
public function setLanguage($language){
//si existe una llave con el array en la carpeta config con el archivo llanguages
if(array_key_exists($language, config('Languages'))){
//se inicia una sesion con el nombre applocale
session()->put('appLocale',$language);
}
return back;
}
}
finally the file languages.php
<?php
return[
'en'=>['English','en_US'],
'es'=>['Spanish','es_ES'],
];
