This pull request introduces a comprehensive overhaul of the application's localization system, transitioning from a config-based approach to a dynamic, admin-configurable, and database-backed language management system. It adds a new LocalizationSettings settings class, enables administrators to configure available and default languages via the admin panel, ensures user language preferences persist across sessions and devices, and updates both backend and frontend logic to reflect these changes. The changes also ensure that language selectors are only shown when multiple languages are available, and that user-specific locale preferences are respected throughout the application, including queued notifications.

Localization system redesign and settings management:

  • Introduced LocalizationSettings (app/Settings/LocalizationSettings.php) to manage which languages are available and which one is the default, discovering locales from the filesystem and mapping them to display names from config or via intl. This enables dynamic language management without code changes.
  • Added a Filament admin page (app/Filament/Admin/Pages/LocalizationSettings.php) to allow administrators to enable/disable languages and set the default language through the UI, with logic to ensure at least one language is always enabled.
  • Added a settings migration (database/settings/0001_01_01_000012_create_localization_settings.php) to seed enabled and default locales from existing config, ensuring a smooth transition for existing installations.

User locale preference and persistence:

  • Added a nullable locale column to the users table via migration, allowing users to have a persistent language preference that can override session or browser settings.
  • Updated the User model to implement HasLocalePreference and provide a preferredLocale() method, ensuring Laravel uses the user's chosen language for mail and notifications. [1] [2] [3]

Backend language selection and enforcement:

  • Refactored LocalizationController and HandleLocalization middleware to use enabled locales from settings, enforce that only enabled languages can be selected, and ensure that user preferences take precedence over session or browser defaults. [1] [2] [3]

Frontend language selector improvements:

  • Updated both React and Vue language selectors to only display when more than one language is available, preventing unnecessary UI clutter when the app is single-language. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Configuration and documentation updates:

  • Clarified in config/app.php that available_locales is only for display names, and that actual available and enabled languages are now managed via settings and discovered from the filesystem.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added administrator controls for selecting enabled languages and a default language.
    • Added automatic discovery of available translations.
    • Users can save a preferred language for future sessions.
    • Language selection now follows user, session, and configured defaults.
    • Password-change notifications support translated content and localized dates.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Language selectors are hidden when fewer than two languages are available.
    • Invalid language choices now fall back safely to an enabled language.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds persisted localization settings, locale discovery, administrator controls, runtime locale selection, user locale preferences, translated password notifications, Carbon locale synchronization, and conditional language-selector rendering.

Changes

Localization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Localization settings foundation
app/Settings/LocalizationSettings.php, database/settings/*, config/app.php
The application discovers translation locales, resolves display names, persists enabled and default locales, and documents the configuration behavior.
Administrator localization settings
app/Filament/Admin/Pages/LocalizationSettings.php, tests/Feature/LocalizationSettingsTest.php
The Filament page configures enabled locales and the default locale. Tests cover persistence and validation that at least one locale remains enabled.
Runtime locale resolution
database/migrations/*locale*, app/Models/User.php, app/Http/Middleware/HandleLocalization.php, app/Http/Controllers/LocalizationController.php, tests/Feature/LocalizationSettingsTest.php
The middleware and controller use enabled locales, apply fallback precedence, share locale data with Inertia, update sessions, and persist authenticated user preferences.
Localized notifications and dates
app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php, app/Notifications/PasswordChangedNotification.php, tests/Feature/NotificationTranslatabilityTest.php, tests/fixtures/lang/xx.json
Password-change notifications use translations and locale-aware dates. Carbon follows application locale updates. Tests cover translated content and date formatting.
Selector behavior
resources/js/react/components/LanguageSelector.tsx, resources/js/vue/components/LanguageSelector.vue
The React and Vue selectors render only when more than one locale is available.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e6218

The change currently prevents the test suite from passing and can deliver queued notifications in an invalid or unintended language when user preferences are missing or disabled. These issues should be fixed before merging.

Laravel HasLocalePreference preferredLocale null queued notifications locale behavior

💡 Result:

In Laravel, when sending queued notifications to a notifiable model that implements the HasLocalePreference interface, the notification system determines the locale using a specific order of precedence [1][2]. If the preferredLocale method returns null, the system falls back to the application's default locale [3]. The preference logic, handled by the NotificationSender class, follows this hierarchy [1][2]: 1. Explicit Notification Locale: If a specific locale has been set on the notification instance itself (e.g., via the ->locale('es') method), it takes highest precedence [1][2]. 2. NotificationSender Instance Locale: The locale set on the sender instance, if applicable [1][2]. 3. Notifiable Preference: If the notifiable model implements HasLocalePreference, the system calls its preferredLocale method [1][2]. If this method returns null, the system does not "remember" or infer a locale from this step; it effectively treats it as unset [1][3]. When a notification is queued, Laravel captures the relevant locale at the time of dispatching to ensure the background worker uses the correct translation [4][5]. If the HasLocalePreference method returns null, the worker will fall back to the application's configured default locale (defined in config/app.php) [3]. To ensure queued notifications use a specific locale when the database preference might be null, you can: - Manually specify the locale when sending the notification: $user->notify((new InvoicePaid($invoice))->locale('fr')); [5] - Implement logic within preferredLocale to return the app's current locale or a fallback string rather than null, if that is desired behavior [3]. For example: public function preferredLocale:?string { return $this->locale_column?? app->getLocale; }

Resolve preferredLocale() against enabled locales.

When locale is null, queued notifications use the worker's current application locale instead of LocalizationSettings::$default_locale. When the stored locale is disabled, Laravel uses it without validation. Use the stored locale only when enabled; otherwise use the enabled settings default or the first enabled locale. Add tests for null and disabled preferences, then run Pint.
