App::setLocale does't work.

[larvldeltacoding]

I'm using 11.9 version of laravel-translatable, laravel 5.8. and php 7.4

I want to use this example but it does't work:

App::setLocale('de');
echo $post->title; // Mein erster Post

if I do $post->translate('de')->title than it works.

Do you have any idea why it is not working for me with only echo $post->title?

EDIT:
I solved removing this value:

/*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Default locale
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | As a default locale, Translatable takes the locale of Laravel's
    | translator. If for some reason you want to override this,
    | you can specify what default should be used here.
    | If you set a value here it will only use the current config value
    | and never fallback to the translator one.
    |
    */
    'locale' => null, // previously was set to a language

Check this issue #148

Thank you, works as expected! It would be nice to know why it has to be null... hope somebody from contributors will explain it.

Hey @larvldeltacoding ,
the packages locale config is if you want to manage the used locale totally separated from the app locale.
It's also described like this in the config description:

If you set a value here it will only use the current config value and never fallback to the translator one.
