Redirect to Default Locale in Laravel and Manage Fortify Routes

In the world of web development, creating a user-friendly website often includes offering multiple languages. However, handling locale management can sometimes be challenging. If you're using Laravel and Fortify for authentication, you might run into situations where URLs without a specified locale result in 404 errors or issues with user authentication. This guide will explore how to address these challenges, specifically focusing on redirecting to a default locale and fortifying routes.

Problem Overview

When users access your website without specifying a locale, the website throws a 404 error. For instance, if a user navigates to http://mywebsite/operations, they should be redirected to http://mywebsite/en/operations, where "en" is the default locale. Furthermore, you may encounter issues with Fortify routes, such as when a user tries to enable two-factor authentication, which leads to a similar 404 mistake when the password confirmation URL is missing the locale.

Solution Breakdown

To resolve these issues, we will implement a two-part solution involving middleware and route configurations.

1. Setting Up Middleware for Locale Redirection

First, customize your SetLocale middleware to handle cases where the locale is not specified in the URL.

Update Middleware Code

Here's an enhanced SetLocale middleware that automatically redirects to the default locale when none is provided:

2. Managing Fortify Routes

The second part involves making adjustments to the Fortify routes, especially for features like the two-factor authentication password confirmation.

Override Fortify Default Routes

In your FortifyServiceProvider.php, you need to tell Fortify to ignore its default routes:

3. Create a Require Password Middleware

You'll need to add a new middleware for password confirmation that redirects users to the correct locale URL:

4. Register the Middleware in Kernel.php

Make sure to register the new middleware in your Kernel.php to ensure Laravel recognizes it:

Conclusion

By implementing these steps, you’ll effectively redirect users to a default locale when they omit it from the URL, and streamline Fortify route management to prevent 404 errors. These enhancements not only improve user experience but also optimize your multilingual Laravel application for better functionality.

Feel free to experiment with and adapt this solution based on the specific needs of your application. By managing locales and routes efficiently, your application can provide a seamless experience for all users, regardless of their language preference.
