I translated my platform, but how to handle the frontend language switcher?

Hi, are you using the package recommended in this guide? https://twill.io/docs/guides/building_a_multilingual_site_with_twill_and_laravel_localization.html#configure-twill

Ahaaaa thanks! I did not get to the particular frontend part it seems haha!

The boot function is called before the middleware responsible for setting the locale

Hm.. Then how do I set my navigation globally best?

Thanks, I call the menu items through a browser frm my pages model btw..

if the locale is set at the time of execution of the code retrieving that singleton browsers data, it would do it correctly, so you still have the same problem, which is not really a twill concern, more so about how Laravel middleware and request lifecycle works

It is weird because it does translate the slug correctly... Just not the title..

that means you haven't setup the middleware correctly or are querying the models in a way that isn't loading translations correctly. Does it work if you manually set the app locale before retrieving the model

Hm so weird.. On the page, the $page->title does not translate either.. Do not know why haha.. It works perfectly in the backend

I need to know exactly how you are retrieving the record and where in the codebase to help @elkex

Controller to retrieve the page content:

public function index($slug){
        $page = $this->repository->forNestedSlug($slug);
        abort_unless($page, 404, 'page');
        $this->setMetadata($page);
        return view('pages.index', compact('page'));
    }

The model has the HasTranslation trait The repository has the HandleTranslations trait In frontend blade:

$page->title

But this only returns the English version.. The translations work correctly in the backend CMS, so I think the configuration should be ok..

ok, and how is your routing configured for this controller action?

Tried that, unfortunately not

when you land on that controller is the app locale correctly set according to the url you're trying?

Yes, the switches correctly

I mean, that's not expected. If you dd the $page in your controller, which translations relationship do you see loaded? None, 1, multiple?

Multiple

That means you have enabled translatable.use_fallback and use_property_fallback to be true, correct?

Yes

For context, the loading of the translations relationship is done here https://github.com/area17/twill/blob/68a4e59a6467455e81a28a5c296230b62f1f7495/src/Models/Behaviors/HasTranslation.php#L50

Yes, that's what I would expect to happen too haha

do you have the issue with a non nested model too?

Good question.. I don't think I have a non nested model at the moment, I'll create one

what are your twill.locale, app.locale, as well as fallback locales?

app.locale:

'locale' => 'en',
'fallback_locale' => 'nl',

twill.locale:

'locale' => 'en',
    'fallback_locale' => 'nl',
