Laravel 5.5, Collections and Localization

This question is a follow-up/attempt to implement the answer from a prior question.

My attempt to pluck values from a collection and apply the current localization is as follows:

$prefix_array = ['' => trans('registration.prefixes.select')] +
    $prefixes->pluck('prefix', 'prefix')->map(function($item, $key) {
        return trans('messages.fields.prefixes.'.$item);
    })->toArray();

However, this produces an array with values like:

"Mrs." => "messages.fields.prefixes.Mrs."

Instead of:

"Mrs." => "Sra."   // eg: shortened Senora for Spanish translation

The localization path (messages.fields.prefixes.XYZ) is correct and references to it in other places displays as expected.

Solution

  • It may be trailing dot (period) is confusing the localisation. You may need to have your translation key as just 'mrs' => 'Mrs.'
