Filter collection based on specific locale

[solingenn]

``Collection is returning all translations and I don't know how to filter it using laravel-translatable.
I have tried using translation('en'), translatedIn('en') methods and they don't work.

This is JSON repsonse of collection:

How can I filter this collection to return just specified collection?

Hey,

instead of returning the collection/paginator directly you should use an API resource class to explicitly transform your model to JSON.

Ok, I'll try that.
Thanks.
