Modules and plugins can have localization files in the /lang directory. Plugin and module localization files are registered automatically.

Accessing localization strings

// Get a localization string from the CMS module
echo Lang::get('cms::errors.page.not_found');

// Get a localization string from the october/blog plugin.
echo Lang::get('october.blog::messages.post.added');

Overriding localization strings

System users can override localization strings without altering the modules' and plugins' files. This is done by adding localization files to the app/lang directory. To override a plugin's localization:

app
  lang
    en
      vendorname
        pluginname
          file.php

Example: lang/en/october/blog/errors.php

To override a module's localization:

app
  lang
    en
      modulename
        file.php

Example: lang/en/cms/errors.php
