# A trait to make Eloquent models translatable

[](https://packagist.org/packages/spatie/laravel-translatable)
This package contains a trait `HasTranslations` to make Eloquent models translatable. Translations are stored as json. There is no extra table needed to hold them.
```php
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Spatie\Translatable\HasTranslations;
class NewsItem extends Model
{
use HasTranslations;
// ...
}
```
After the trait is applied on the model you can do these things:
```php
$newsItem = new NewsItem;
$newsItem
->setTranslation('name', 'en', 'Name in English')
->setTranslation('name', 'nl', 'Naam in het Nederlands')
->save();
$newsItem->name; // Returns 'Name in English' given that the current app locale is 'en'
$newsItem->getTranslation('name', 'nl'); // returns 'Naam in het Nederlands'
app()->setLocale('nl');
$newsItem->name; // Returns 'Naam in het Nederlands'
// If you want to query records based on locales, you can use the `whereLocale` and `whereLocales` methods.
NewsItem::whereLocale('name', 'en')->get(); // Returns all news items with a name in English
NewsItem::whereLocales('name', ['en', 'nl'])->get(); // Returns all news items with a name in English or Dutch
// Returns all news items that has name in English with value `Name in English`
NewsItem::query()->whereJsonContainsLocale('name', 'en', 'Name in English')->get();
// Returns all news items that has name in English or Dutch with value `Name in English`
NewsItem::query()->whereJsonContainsLocales('name', ['en', 'nl'], 'Name in English')->get();
```
