### Install Translatable for Laravel via Composer

Source: https://github.com/roundly-consulting/translatable-for-laravel/blob/main/README.md

Install the package using Composer. Requires PHP 8.4 and Laravel 12 or 13. Supported databases: PostgreSQL 12+, MySQL 8.0.23+ (SQLite for tests). SQL Server is not supported.

```bash
composer require roundly-consulting/translatable-for-laravel
```

--------------------------------

### Read and Write Translations in Current Locale

Source: https://github.com/roundly-consulting/translatable-for-laravel/blob/main/README.md

Create a model with a locale map, set the locale, and use methods like setTranslation, getTranslations, and missingLocales. Falls back to the 'en' locale when the current locale is missing.

```php
$topic = Topic::create(['name' => ['en' => 'Investing']]);

app()->setLocale('sk');
$topic->name;                                    // 'Investing' — falls back to `en`
$topic->missingLocales('name');                  // ['sk']

$topic->setTranslation('name', 'sk', 'Investovanie')->save();
$topic->name;                                    // 'Investovanie'
$topic->getTranslations('name');                 // ['en' => 'Investing', 'sk' => 'Investovanie']
```

--------------------------------

### Use the Translatable Facade

Source: https://github.com/roundly-consulting/translatable-for-laravel/blob/main/README.md

Use the Translatable facade for operations not tied to model state, such as using a specific locale for a callback and replacing the translation map from form input.

```php
use RoundlyConsulting\Translatable\Facades\Translatable;

Translatable::usingLocale('en', fn (): string => $topic->name);                     // 'Investing'
$topic->setTranslations('name', Translatable::fromInput($request->input('name')));  // replaces the map with the form's locales
```

--------------------------------

### Define a Translatable Model and Migration

Source: https://github.com/roundly-consulting/translatable-for-laravel/blob/main/README.md

Create a migration with a translatable column and define a model using the HasTranslations trait and Translatable contract. The 'translatable' property lists the translatable attributes.

```php
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use RoundlyConsulting\Translatable\Concerns\HasTranslations;
use RoundlyConsulting\Translatable\Contracts\Translatable;

Schema::create('topics', function (Blueprint $table): void {
    $table->id();
    $table->translatable('name');   // a jsonb column
    $table->timestamps();
});

final class Topic extends Model implements Translatable
{
    use HasTranslations;

    protected $fillable = ['name'];

    /** @var list<string> */
    public array $translatable = ['name'];
}
```
