Stop Writing Laravel Translation Files Manually (Use AI Instead)

If you've ever worked on a multilingual Laravel application, you already know how painful translation management can get.

Extracting keys, maintaining language files, and translating everything manually becomes repetitive—especially as your project grows.

I ran into this exact problem while working on Laravel apps.

So I started experimenting with automating the entire workflow using AI.


💡 The Idea

What if we could:

  • Scan the project for translation keys
  • Translate them automatically
  • Generate language files

⚙️ What I Built

I created a Laravel package that does exactly this using Google Gemini AI.

It:

  • Scans Blade, PHP, and frontend files
  • Extracts translation keys
  • Translates them using AI
  • Generates structured language files automatically

All through a simple Artisan command.


⚡ Key Features

  • Interactive CLI (Artisan command)
  • AI-powered translations (Gemini)
  • Parallel processing (Spatie Fork)
  • Dry-run mode & backups for safety

🚀 Why This Matters

Instead of spending hours managing translations, developers can focus on building features.
