how to display model name in different languages in laravel - php

Question

i have a model called employees whiche has a name in latin and arabic, so i used in my migration this:
public function up()
{
Schema::create('employees', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('picture');
$table->string('name');
$table->string('name_ar');
$table->string('name_fr');
$table->string('position');
$table->string('position_ar');
$table->string('position_fr');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
And i want to display the correct name in the language depending on the localization, for example if the localization is 'fr' i should display name_fr or name_ar for 'ar',
i am using a localization package.
for now i came up with this:
#if (Lang::locale() == 'ar')
<h4 class="text-white"> {{ $employee->name_ar }} </h4>
<div class="flex items-center gap-x-1">
<img src="{{ asset('assets/eye-icon.svg') }}" alt="eye">
<p class="text-white text-sm">{{ $employee->position_ar }}</p>
</div>
#elseif(Lang::locale() == 'fr')
<h4 class="text-white"> {{ $employee->name_fr }} </h4>
<div class="flex items-center gap-x-1">
<img src="{{ asset('assets/eye-icon.svg') }}" alt="eye">
<p class="text-white text-sm">{{ $employee->position_fr }}</p>
</div>
#else
<h4 class="text-white"> {{ $employee->name }} </h4>
<div class="flex items-center gap-x-1">
<img src="{{ asset('assets/eye-icon.svg') }}" alt="eye">
<p class="text-white text-sm">{{ $employee->position }}</p>
</div>
#endif
is there a better way to display the name in the correct language, for example in a controller or in the Lang directory ?.

Answer 1

you could achieve that with a one-line like this
{{ $employee->{'name_' . app()->getLocale()} ?? $employee->name }}
thanks to #Tim Lewis for mentioning it.
