每个用户的Laravel语言设置

Question

I know how to set default language in application by using App::setLocale('es');

I'm thinking about setting individual language per user after an user logs in.

Currently, the only way I have in mind is to set a general language and use variable inside a Lang::get() command:

$user_language = 'gr';

Lang::get('messages.welcome'.$user_language);

Is there any other way of setting language setting per user?

Why not just use App::setLocale() to set the language according to the user preferences if the user is logged in. According to the Laravel Docs:

You may change the active language at any time using the App::setLocale method.

So you could do that maybe like this:

App::before(function($request)
{
    // If user is logged in
    if (Auth::check())
    {
        // Get the user specific language
        $lang = Auth::user()->language;

        // Set the language
        App::setLocale($lang);
    }
});
