Credits

This package is inspired by laravel-translatable.

The reason why I could not just use the package above is that it assumes that I keep locale field in every table that holds translations. I keep locale field in my language table. After looking at the source code I concluded that It would be simpler to create my own package, because I don't need those fancy model update options.
