Good evening, Today I've encountered a question/problem. I'll get right into it. So basically I have form which is used to create meal. Meal table (migration) looks like this:
$table->uuid('id')->primary();
$table->uuid('restaurant_id')->nullable();
$table->string('name_lt', 100);
$table->string('name_en', 100);
$table->string('name_ru', 100);
$table->smallInteger('prep_time');
$table->string('image', 150);
$table->boolean('visibility')->default(0);
$table->boolean('deleted')->default(0);
$table->timestamps();
$table->foreign('restaurant_id')->references('id')->on('restaurants')->onDelete('cascade');
Aside the there's tons of other stuff, like ingredients and stuff, which are related to that specific meal. In the form page I have 3 different forms for different languages that is my native lithuanian, english and russian. There is tab buttons for changing form to other language, all it does is just hide current form and show another (there is 3 identical forms in 1 page).
What I'm trying to achieve is if I fill in lithuanian language's inputs, I want english and russian inputs to be filled also (that can be achieved with jquery or javascript change function), but it should fill in translated text.
Simple example:
In first form I fill in text name_lt = 'Obuolys'
, so name_en
and name_ru
should get filled too, but in different language, in this case name_en = 'Apple'
, name_ru = 'яблоко'
I never used translation api's so I'm wondering what would be the best way, I'm thinking of using DeepL as it is quite cheap.
If someone could give me some advices or simple example would be nice, I could follow on from that.
