Multilingual website translations issue

[ShapesGraphicStudio]

Hi,
First, nice package, thanks!
I'm having a little issue thought as some texts seems to rely on APP_LOCALE setting in .env file.
I'm having a multilingual website and this should be set to current language.

Some strings are being translated when user changes language like:
_ 'more' => 'More details',
...
_ 'save' => 'Save settings',

But some are not like:
_ 'essentials' => [
'title' => 'Essential cookies',
'description' => 'There are some cookies that we have to include in order for certain web pages to function. For this reason, they do not require your consent.',
],

This is what I get when APP_LOCALE=fr and current language = en:

With APP_LOCALE=en and current language = en everything is in english.
With APP_LOCALE=fr and current language = fr everything is in french.

Any idea on how I could fix this please?

@ShapesGraphicStudio u can switch it based on App::setlocale()

Route::get('/en', function () {
    App::setlocale('en');
    return view('english');
});

Route::get('/fr', function () {
    App::setlocale('fr');
    return view('french');
});

I also have an issue with multilingual site.

The problem is that the \App::setLocale('xx') is executed after the translation.
I mean:

1. CookieServiceProvider class instantiate CookieCategory
2. CookieCategory make translations (in the constructor)
3. Translated strings stay in memory
4. After that, bootstrap go on and set \App::setLocale('xx') (in my case, in a middleware).

I temporary solved with a "re-translation" directly in blade file.

Are there any other solutions?

1. Whitecube\LaravelCookieConsent\CookiesServiceProvider

<?php

namespace Whitecube\LaravelCookieConsent;

abstract class CookiesServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function register()
    {
        $this->booted(function () {
            $this->registerCookies();
        });
    }

    // ...

2. Whitecube\LaravelCookieConsent\CookiesCategory

<?php

namespace Whitecube\LaravelCookieConsent;

class CookiesCategory
{
    // ...

    public function __construct(string $key)
    {
        $this->key = $key;
        $this->setAttribute('title', $this->translate('categories.' . $key . '.title', ucfirst($key)));
        $this->setAttribute('description', $this->translate('categories.' . $key . '.description'));
    }

    // ...

My temporary solution in the file resources/views/vendor/cookie-consent/cookies.blade.php

// ...
<div class="cookies__sections">
    @foreach ($cookies->getCategories() as $category)
    <div class="cookies__section">
        <label for="cookies-policy-check-{{ $category->key() }}" class="cookies__category">
            @if ($category->key() === 'essentials')
                <input type="hidden" name="categories[]" value="{{ $category->key() }}" />
                <input type="checkbox" name="categories[]" value="{{ $category->key() }}" id="cookies-policy-check-{{ $category->key() }}" checked="checked" disabled="disabled" />
            @else
                <input type="checkbox" name="categories[]" value="{{ $category->key() }}" id="cookies-policy-check-{{ $category->key() }}" />

The Cookie Consent Service Provider should execute after the Route Service Provider in order to get translations to work properly.

The Cookie Consent Service Provider should execute after the Route Service Provider in order to get translations to work properly.

In my case, the language is set in a middleware. The middleware is executed always AFTER any provider.

[ShapesGraphicStudio]

Same for me, the language is set in a middleware.

@ShapesGraphicStudio I had the exact same issue but I was setting the locale in the controller (which is kinda the same like the middleware). I ended up creating a new service provider and set the locale there. I registered that new provider right before the CookiesServiceProvider and the problem is solved.
