Install

Run this command into your nova project: composer require digitalcloud/multilingual-nova

Then run this command to publish config file: php artisan vendor:publish --tag=multilingual-nova

Add it to your Nova Resource:

use Digitalcloud\MultilingualNova\Multilingual;

Multilingual::make('translations'),

Note that "Translations" is not a database column like Most of Nova Fields, it's just a Label. the field will only appear in index and details pages, no forms feilds will be added.

Defining Locales

The package now support static languages array, or dynamic array from DB. Feel free to choose your best choice.

You can define supported locales statically via config file config/multilingual.php which is the default behaviour by adding your locales in locales array

// config/translatable.php
return [
    ...
    'locales' => [
        'ar' => 'Arabic',
        'en' => 'English',
        'de' => 'German',
    ],
];

If you have a dynamic Language Model, and want to set tha supported locales depends it, just set the source to database, and then set your model, code_field, label_field

Alternatively you can "override" the config locales with the setLocales(...) method:

Multilingual::make('Description')->setLocales([
        'ar' => 'Arabic',
        'en' => 'English',
        'de' => 'German',
]),

Define Style

By default, the style of the field will be small buttons which let you know which one is already translated and which not yet.

If your application support many languages, this style maybe will not be convenient, so you can group the locales in a drop down list instead of buttons by setting style to list

If you want to mix the two option, so that you can show buttons if for example supported locales less than three, and list otherwise you can set the style to mix and set convert_to_list_after to the number you want.
