Quick Overview

Step # 1 : Set Up a New Laravel Project or Use an Existing One.

laravel new translate

composer create-project laravel/laravel --prefer-dist translate

• Starter Kit: Choose None to set up Laravel without any built-in authentication.
• Testing Framework: Select Pest for a clean, expressive testing environment.
• Database Driver: Opt for MySQL as your database.

Step # 2 : Access the project.

Step # 3 : Install Google Translate package.

composer require stichoza/google-translate-php

Step # 4 : Create a Controller.

php artisan make:controller TranslateController

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Stichoza\GoogleTranslate\GoogleTranslate;
class TranslateController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        // Text to be translated.
        $text = 'Traduce este texto al idioma inglés';
        // Initialize GoogleTranslate instance.
        $tr = new GoogleTranslate();
        // Set the target language to English ('en').
        $tr->setTarget('en');
        // Perform the translation.
        $translation = $tr->translate($text);
        // Output the translation result for debugging.
        dd($translation);
    }
}

Step # 5 : Update the Route.

Route::get('/', [App\Http\Controllers\TranslateController::class, 'index']);

Step # 6 : It's time to test.

public function index()
{
    // Translate the given text from Georgian ('ka') to English ('en').
    dd(GoogleTranslate::trans('მოდით ვცადოთ თარგმნა ინგლისურად', 'en', 'ka'));
}
