Logat — Laravel Language Extractor

Logat is a Laravel package that helps you extract all translation keys from your application’s source code into JSON language files. It scans your Blade and PHP files for __('...') calls and compiles the results automatically.

Designed to simplify your localization workflow, especially when managing multi-language projects.

---

Installation

Install the package using:

composer require hexters/logat --dev

This package is meant for development use only and should not be required in production environments.

---

Configuration

If you want to customize the behavior, you can publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Hexters\Logat\LogatServiceProvider"

This will publish a file to config/logat.php with the following default contents:

return [

    'default' => 'id',

    'locales' => ['en', 'ms', 'id', 'ja'],

    'sources' => [
        'resources/views',
        'app',
    ],

];

You can adjust the default locale, supported languages, and which folders to scan for translation keys.

---

Usage

To scan your application and generate/update translation files, run:

php artisan logat:collect

This command will:

• Search for all __('...') keys in the specified source directories
• Merge with any existing translation files
• Save the output in the lang directory as individual JSON files for each language

To remove unused keys that no longer exist in your source code, run:

php artisan logat:clean

This command will:

• Scan your application for active translation keys
• Remove outdated keys from each language file
• Keep your JSON files clean and relevant

---

Output

After running the command, you’ll get files like:

lang/
├── en.json
├── id.json
├── ja.json
└── ms.json

Each file will contain the translation keys found in your app. Any untranslated key will have an empty string as its value.

Example:

{
    "Dashboard": "Dashboard",
    "User Account": "User Account"
}

You can use AI to change the value of the result generator
