Lumen (laravel) translation in controller

Question

I need to translate strings which are used in (email-)jobs and controllers.

I read this: https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/localization so I know you can get in in the view with:

echo trans("messages.welcome");

But it's an Lumen api and I do not use the view.

How can i get the translator in a controller or a job.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

To get the translator in controller you need to use it like below

//include in your controller
use Lang;

//in code you get values like
Lang::get('messages.error');

Hope it helps

Answer 2

trans it's a global function, so you can use it directly from your controller or Closure

Route::get('/', function () {

    echo trans('messages.welcome');

});
