README

Successor to mcamara/laravel-localization. Static routes, route:cache ready.

Locale-aware routing for Laravel: auto-detect, auto-redirect, and resolve route() per language.

Documentation: localizer.adam-nielsen.de

Example

Route::localize(function () {
    Route::get('/about', AboutController::class)->name('about');
});

Produces:

• /about for the default locale (e.g. English), prefix hidden
• /de/about, /fr/about, ... for every other configured locale

In your application code, keep using route('about'); the package picks the right variant based on the current locale.
