README

Artisan Translator is a Laravel package that helps you:

• extract translation strings from Blade templates like __('...') and @lang('...') (ignoring already externalized keys such as file.key),
• store them under resources/lang/{locale}/{root}/... (defaults: locale en, root blade),
• replace literals in Blade with generated keys (e.g., __('blade.path.key')),
• translate those files into other languages via the Gemini API (google-gemini-php/laravel).

Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require artryazanov/artisan-translator

Laravel will auto-discover the service provider.

Optionally publish the config:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Artryazanov\ArtisanTranslator\ArtisanTranslatorServiceProvider" --tag="config"

Add your GEMINI_API_KEY to your application's .env file.

Configuration (config/artisan-translator.php)

• source_language — the source language of Blade literals (default: en).
• lang_root_path — the root folder under resources/lang/{locale} for generated files (default: blade).
• ai_request_delay_seconds — minimal interval between consecutive AI requests in seconds (default: 2.0). The actual sleep before the next request is max(0, delay - previous_request_duration). You can override via ENV ARTISAN_TRANSLATOR_AI_DELAY.
• gemini.api_key, gemini.model — Gemini settings (default model: gemma-3-27b-it). Supported models via enum: gemini-2.5-pro, gemini-2.5-flash, gemini-2.5-flash-lite, gemma-3-27b-it. You can override via ENV GEMINI_MODEL.
• mcamara_localization_support — if true and mcamara/laravel-localization is installed, target languages can be auto-detected.

Commands

translate:extract

Scans resources/views (or a subdirectory) and extracts strings.

Options:

• --path= limit scanning to a subdirectory of resources/views;
• --dry-run show what would change without writing files;
• --force overwrite existing keys in lang files.

translate:ai

Translates strings found under resources/lang/{source}/{root} to other languages.

Arguments/options:

• source — source language (defaults to config value),
• --targets=* — list of target languages (can be specified multiple times),
• --force — overwrite existing translations.

Notes:

• The command respects the configured ai_request_delay_seconds, waiting max(0, delay - previous_request_duration) between AI requests.
• If --targets is not provided and mcamara_localization_support=true, and mcamara/laravel-localization is installed, targets are taken from LaravelLocalization::getSupportedLocales().

translations:cleanup

Finds translation keys that are defined in language files but not used in your app code, removes them, and deletes empty language files.

Options:

• --dry-run show unused keys without deleting anything;
• --force skip the confirmation prompt.

Configuration:

• Publish the config if needed:

  php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Artryazanov\ArtisanTranslator\ArtisanTranslatorServiceProvider" --tag="config"

• Configure scan paths, file extensions, and translation functions in config/translation-cleaner.php.

Safety note:

• This command is destructive. Always run with --dry-run first and ensure your project is under version control.
