How to Redirect Back to the Same Page in Laravel After Changing Locale

Implementing multilingual support in Laravel can be a challenging but rewarding task. One common requirement is to allow users to change the application's language (locale) and redirect them back to the same page they were on, preserving their context. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to achieve this using Laravel middleware and service providers.

Understanding the Problem

When you have a multilingual application, it's essential to provide users the ability to switch between languages seamlessly. However, after they switch the language, they often want to remain on the same page. The challenge lies in managing the URL structure and ensuring users don't lose their place.

The existing setup seems to allow changing the locale but doesn't redirect the users back to their original page after the change. Let's see how we can enhance the current implementation to include this functionality.

Solution Overview

To redirect users back to the same page after changing the locale, we need to follow these steps:

Modify Middleware - Ensure the current URL is preserved during the locale change.

Utilize AppServiceProvider - Create a shared URL that incorporates the current path with the new locale.

Update Blade Template - Ensure the language switch links use the newly generated URLs.

Step 1: Modify the Middleware

The middleware is already handling locale settings but needs to capture the current route. Modify your Localization.php as follows:

Step 2: Utilize AppServiceProvider to Create a Shared URL

In your AppServiceProvider, you'll want to create a global variable that holds the URL for switching languages. This essentially captures the current URL and modifies it based on the selected locale.

Add the following code to the boot method of your AppServiceProvider:

Step 3: Update Blade Template Links

Finally, ensure your language switch links in the Blade template utilize the new shared URL variable:

This setup ensures that whenever users click on the language switcher, they will be redirected back to the same page they were on, just with a different locale.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you'll enhance your Laravel application with seamless multilingual support that retains users on their current page when switching languages. This adjustment not only improves user experience but also makes your application more accommodating for a global audience.

Feel free to experiment with the provided code, and adapt it to suit your application's specific needs. Happy coding!
