# Localization

• Laravel's localization features provide a convenient way to retrieve strings in various languages, allowing you to easily support multiple languages within your application
• Language strings are stored in files within the resources/lang directory. Within this directory there should be a subdirectory for each language supported by the application.
• Here you see the default view of the error 404 page (left) and the login page (right)

• All these pages can easily be translated to another language

# Dutch localization

• Clone this repo to your desktop: https://github.com/Laravel-Lang/lang
  • Copy the folder src/nl from this repo to the folder resources/lang/ of your project
  • Copy the file json/nl.json from this repo to the folder resources/lang/ of your project

• Open the file /config/app.php
  • Find the entry 'locale' => 'en', and change it to nl (= Dutch)
