Localization

Subscribd ships translations for five languages. All component strings, validation messages, and email copy pull from these translation files.

​
Supported languages

CodeLanguage
enEnglish
esSpanish
frFrench
deGerman
zh-CNChinese (Simplified)

​
Publishing translations

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=subscribd-translations
This creates files under lang/vendor/subscribd/{locale}/ for each language. Edit any file to override individual strings without touching the package source.

​
Using a different locale

Subscribd respects Laravel’s active locale. Set it in a middleware or controller: 
app()->setLocale('fr');
Or configure the default in config/app.php: 
'locale' => 'fr',

​
Adding a new language

To add a language not in the shipped list, create the locale directory and copy the English file as a starting point: 
mkdir -p lang/vendor/subscribd/it
cp lang/vendor/subscribd/en/subscribd.php lang/vendor/subscribd/it/subscribd.php
Then translate the strings in lang/vendor/subscribd/it/subscribd.php.

​
Translation file structure

// lang/vendor/subscribd/en/subscribd.php
return [
    'subscribe'           => 'Subscribe',
    'current_plan'        => 'Current plan',
    'upgrade'             => 'Upgrade',
    'downgrade'           => 'Downgrade',
    'cancel_subscription' => 'Cancel subscription',
    'resume_subscription' => 'Resume subscription',
    'on_grace_period'     => 'Your subscription is canceled and expires on :date.',
    'trial_ends'          => 'Your trial ends in :days days.',
    'invoice_download'    => 'Download PDF',
    'no_invoices'         => 'No invoices yet.',
    'coupon_applied'      => 'Coupon :code applied.',
    'coupon_invalid'      => 'This coupon code is not valid.',
];
Parameters like :date and :days are replaced at runtime by the component.
