Import lang files and how to change languages of the app?

[sergeynilov]

I have installed backpack/crud: ^6.7 and backpack/translation-manager ^1.0
into fresh laravel 11.31 app and having empty “language_lines” table I copied some lang files under
“lang” subdirectory. After that a lot of keys in “translation lines”, but “language_lines” table is still empty.

Are there options :
a) Import lang files into db ?
b) Export lines of “language_lines” table into lang files ?

c) Where can I change languages and order of flag in langs editors?

Based on the knowledge sources provided, I don't have enough specific information to fully answer your question about importing lang files and changing languages in Backpack 6.7 with the translation-manager package. However, I can provide some general guidance based on the available information:

1. Regarding importing lang files into the database or exporting from the database to lang files, the knowledge sources don't contain specific information about these processes for Backpack 6.7 and the translation-manager package.

2. For changing languages in Backpack, you can set the locale in your config/app.php file. As mentioned in the Localization incomplete or not working as expected issue, you can set:

'locale' => 'it',
'fallback_locale' => 'en',

Replace 'it' with your desired language code.

3. For translating Backpack strings, you can create language files in the appropriate directory. As mentioned in the Theme tabler lang file path? discussion, you can place your translation files in:

lang/vendor/backpack/theme-tabler/{language}/theme-tabler.php

Replace {language} with your desired language code.

4. If you're looking to add a language selector to your Backpack admin panel, this is not a built-in feature of Backpack. As mentioned in the Register blade - theme-coreuiv2 discussion, you would need to implement this yourself by adding a language column to your users table and creating a middleware to change the app's language based on user preference.

5. For Laravel validation messages in different languages, you can use the laravel-lang package as suggested in the Localization incomplete or not working as expected issue:

composer require --dev laravel-lang/common
php artisan lang:add it

Replace 'it' with your desired language code.

Unfortunately, the knowledge sources don't provide specific information about the "language_lines" table you mentioned or about changing the order of flags in language editors. For more detailed information about these specific features and how they work with Backpack 6.7 and the translation-manager package, you might need to consult the documentation for those specific packages or reach out to their support channels.
