Laravel localization in 404 page - php

Question

Hello I have an issue with laravel localization
I've made language switcher and currently selected language doesn't work on 404 pages (it works if I return abort(404) in controller manualy), it always shows content on default locale defined in config/app.php
My middleware code
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
class SetLanguageCookie
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param \Closure $next
* #return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
if($request->hasCookie('language')) {
$cookie = $request->cookie('language');
app()->setLocale($cookie);
return $next($request);
} else {
$response = $next($request);
$response->withCookie(cookie()->forever('language', 'en'));
return $response;
}
}
}
Any ideas how can I make this working? So all automaticaly shown 404 pages show content in currently selected language?

Answer 1

If you have default error handling, look for this file:
app\Exceptions\Handler.php
Change the render method to something like this:
/**
* Render an exception into an HTTP response.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param \Exception $e
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function render($request, Exception $e)
{
if($e instanceof NotFoundHttpException)
{
if(\Request::hasCookie('language')) {
$cookie = \Request::cookie('language');
app()->setLocale($cookie);
//.... etc
}
}
return parent::render($request, $e);
}

Fixed it with help of #ArthurSamarcos
app/Exceptions/Handler.php
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException;
/**
* Render an exception into an HTTP response.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param \Exception $e
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function render($request, Exception $e)
{
if($request->hasCookie('language')) {
// Get cookie
$cookie = $request->cookie('language');
// Check if cookie is already decrypted if not decrypt
$cookie = strlen($cookie) > 2 ? decrypt($cookie) : $cookie;
// Set locale
app()->setLocale($cookie);
}
if($e instanceof NotFoundHttpException) {
return response()->view('errors.404', [], 404);
}
return parent::render($request, $e);
}
