Laravel Polyglot Model Laravel Package

Product Decisions This Supports

• Feature: adding multilingual/polyglot attributes to Laravel Eloquent models, reducing custom translation-table work for localized content.
• Roadmap: Laravel 13 readiness keeps the package aligned with upcoming Laravel upgrades while preserving Laravel 10–12 support.
• Build vs buy: a small, maintained dependency can replace an internal translation trait/package, with no migration or configuration changes in this release.
• Use cases: multi-language SaaS content, e-commerce product/category descriptions, CMS or marketing pages, and user-generated content requiring per-locale values.

When to Consider This Package

• You are on Laravel 10, 11, 12, or 13 and PHP 8.1+.
• You need straightforward per-model translated attributes rather than a full translation management system.
• You want a low-friction upgrade path: v1.1.0 has no breaking public API changes and requires no migration or config changes.
• You value a verified compatibility matrix and CI coverage across PHP, Laravel, Testbench, and PHPUnit versions.
• Look elsewhere if you need advanced localization workflows, external TMS integration, non-Laravel support, or complex fallback/versioning rules beyond the package’s scope.

How to Pitch It (Stakeholders)

• Executives: low-risk, actively maintained package; v1.1.0 adds Laravel 13 support with no breaking changes, no migration, and no configuration changes.
• Engineering: broad compatibility across PHP 8.1–8.5 and Laravel 10–13, expanded Testbench 8–11 and PHPUnit 10–12 coverage, with 11 CI checks passing.
• Product: enables multilingual model content with less custom code and supports keeping the platform current on Laravel without delaying localization roadmap work.
