Here, I will give you a full example of how to laravel 8 multilanguage with language dropdown or laravel 8 multiple language websites as below so follow my all steps.
So, let's follow few step to create multi language support in your laravel application.
Step 1 : Install Laravel
First step, we need to get fresh laravel 8 version application So let's open terminal and run bellow command to install fresh laravel project.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog
Step 2 : Database Configuration
In second step, we will make database Configuration for example database name, username, password etc. So lets open .env file and fill all deatils like as bellow:
.env
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel_8
DB_USERNAME=root

Step 3 : Create Lang File
In this third step i will create three files in following folder for english,french,russian in lang folder.
resources/lang/en/messages.php
<?php
return [
'title' => 'This is English Language Title.'
];
resources/lang/en/messages.php
<?php
return [
'title' => 'Ceci est le titre fr langue anglaise.'
];
resources/lang/ru/messages.php
<?php
return [
'title' => '??? ???????? ?? ?????????? ?????.'
];
Step 4 : Create Route
In this step i will create two route one for display dashboard and second one is change language.
routes/web.php
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\LanguageController;
Route::get('/', [LanguageController::class, 'index'])->name('home');
Route::get('lan-change', [LanguageController::class, 'langChange'])->name('lan.change');
Step 5 : Create LanguageController
In this step,we will create a controller. Use the below command for generate controller
php artisan make:controller LanguageController
app/Http/Controllers/LanguageController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\App;
class LanguageController extends Controller
{
/**
* Write Your Code.
*
* @return string
*/
public function index()
{
return view('lang');
}
/**
* Write Your Code..
*
* @return string
*/
public function langChange(Request $request)
{
App::setLocale($request->lang);
session()->put('locale',$request->lang);
return redirect()->back();
}
}
Step 6 : Create a blade view
In this step, we will create a blade file name lang.blade.php bellow following path.
resources/views/lang.blade.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

<body class="bg-dark">
<div class="container mt-5">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8 offset-2">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-header">
<h5>How to Create Multilingual Website in Laravel 8 - <span class="text-primary">NiceSnippets.com</span></h5>
</div>
<div class="card-body">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3 col-md-offset-6 text-right">
<strong>Select Language: </strong>
</div>
<div class="col-md-9">
<select class="form-control changeLang">
<option value="en" {{ session()->get('locale') == 'en' ? 'selected' : '' }}>English</option>
<option value="fr" {{ session()->get('locale') == 'fr' ? 'selected' : '' }}>French</option>
<option value="ru" {{ session()->get('locale') == 'ru' ? 'selected' : '' }}>Russian</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
<h2 class="mt-4 text-center">{{ __('messages.title') }}</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
<script>
var url = "{{ route('lan.change') }}";
$('.changeLang').change(function(){
window.location.href = url + "?lang=" + $(this).val();
});
</script>
</html>
Step 7 : Create Middleware
In this step i will create one middleware for dynamically change language let's created below artisan command.
php artisan make:middleware LanguageManager
app/Http/Middleware/LanguageManager.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\App;
class LanguageManager
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @param \Closure $next
* @return mixed
*/
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
if (session()->has('locale')) {
App::setLocale(session()->get('locale'));
}
return $next($request);
}
}
So,now we need to register in kernel.php file so let's define.
<?php
namespace App\Http;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Kernel as HttpKernel;
class Kernel extends HttpKernel
{
/**
* The application's route middleware groups.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $middlewareGroups = [
'web' => [
\App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
\Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
\Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
\Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\LanguageManager::class,
],
'api' => [
'throttle:60,1',
\Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
],
];
Now, we will use the php artisan serve command.
php artisan serve
Now we are ready to run our example so run bellow command to quick run.
http://localhost:8000/
Output:
It will help you...
#Laravel 8
#Laravel 7
#Laravel
#Laravel 6
