and when I run sail artisan lang:update the generated lang/en.json is missing, for example, the key Email address that is present in vendor/laravel-lang/starter-kits/locales/en/json.json or Email Address from vendor/laravel-lang/lang/locales/en/json.json.

lang/en.json looks like this:

Issue description

Keys from laravel-lang/lang, laravel-lang/starter-kits are missing in the lang/en.json file

Steps to reproduce

1. Install laravel with vue starter kit
2. Install laravel-lang/common, laravel-lang/lang, laravel-lang/starter-kits
3. Run the update languages comamnd

[andrey-helldar]

1. For reference: if you install laravel-lang/common, you do not need to specify other laravel-lang/* packages — they will be automatically added to the project. This is precisely why Common was created.
2. The file vendor/laravel-lang/starter-kits/locales/en/json.json contains translations of all keys into the specified language from the laravel-lang/starter-kits package. You do not see the Email Address key because you are using the laravel/vue-starter-kit project, for which there is no key with that name:
   • https://github.com/Laravel-Lang/starter-kits/blob/main/source/vue/main/vue.json
   • https://github.com/Laravel-Lang/starter-kits/blob/main/source/vue/preview/vue.json
3. Similarly, there is no point in looking at the file vendor/laravel-lang/lang/locales/en/json.json — it also contains translations of all keys for all projects connected to Lang: Breeze, Cashier, Fortify, Framework, Jetstream, Nova, Spark, and UI. Specifically, the translation key "Email Address" is used in the Laravel Nova and UI projects. Therefore, it will never be installed in your project by default.
   
4. If you do not use the facade functionality in production and only use the project to publish translation keys, I recommend moving the laravel-lang/common dependency to the require-dev section.

It is quite easy to use these translations in your project. To do this, you can write your own plugin class:

// make the `lang_source/app.json` file
{
    "Email Address": "Email Address"
}

namespace App\Translates;

use LaravelLang\Publisher\Plugins\Plugin;

class AppPlugin extends Plugin
{
    public function files(): array
    {
        return [
            // path from $base_path from PluginManager
            '../../../../lang_source/app.json' => '{locale}.json',
        ];
    }
}

namespace App\Translates;

use LaravelLang\Publisher\Plugins\Provider;

class PluginManager extends Provider
{
    protected string $base_path = __DIR__ . '/../../vendor/laravel-lang/lang/';

    protected array $plugins = [
        AppPlugin::class,
    ];
}

use App\Translates\PluginManager;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use LaravelLang\Publisher\Plugins\Provider;

// TODO: Don't forget to register your service provider.
class TranslateServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function register(): void
    {
        if (class_exists(Provider::class)) {
            $this->app->register(PluginManager::class);
        }
    }
}

And you can call the command:

sail artisan lang:update

Result:

You can also create your own package with translations:

@andrey-helldar Thanks for the detailed explanations. My last question would be:

Similarly, there is no point in looking at the file vendor/laravel-lang/lang/locales/en/json.json — it also contains translations of all keys for all projects connected to Lang: Breeze, Cashier, Fortify, Framework, Jetstream, Nova, Spark, and UI.
Specifically, the translation key "Email Address" is used in the Laravel Nova and UI projects. Therefore, it will never be
installed in your project by default.

How can I make it so keys from UI projects to be published to lang/en.json? I understand now how I can add my OWN keys and that would probably be the case but I'd rather avoid re-translating strings like "Email Address" that are already available.

@ionesculiviucristian There are three ways:

1. The one I indicated, when we manually list the keys that need to be translated;
2. Publishing keys from specific projects.
3. Publishing absolutely all project keys.

I described the implementation of the first option above. The second option differs from the first by the following changes. For example:

 namespace App\Translates;
 
 use LaravelLang\Publisher\Plugins\Plugin;
 
 class AppPlugin extends Plugin
 {
     public function files(): array
     {
         return [
             // path from $base_path from PluginManager
-            '../../../../lang_source/app.json' => '{locale}.json',
+            'ui/4.x/ui.json'     => '{locale}.json',
+            'nova/5.x/nova.json' => '{locale}.json',
         ];
     }
 }

Third option is:

 namespace App\Translates;
 
 use LaravelLang\Publisher\Plugins\Plugin;
 
 class AppPlugin extends Plugin
 {
     public function files(): array
     {
         return [
             // path from $base_path from PluginManager
-            '../../../../lang_source/app.json' => '{locale}.json',
+            '../locales/en/json.json'     => '{locale}.json',
         ];
     }
 }

Thanks a lot for your time @andrey-helldar . That indeed solved it. Hopefully my last question:

Even though i see this:

❯ sail artisan lang:update
Xdebug: [Step Debug] Could not connect to debugging client. Tried: host.docker.internal:9003 (fallback through xdebug.client_host/xdebug.client_port).

the strings from vendor/laravel-lang/starter-kits/locales/en/json.json are not outputed to en.json. Is there another thing I need to configure? Thanks.

[ionesculiviucristian]

Ok, I figure it out. Unfortunately I ended up with this structure :|:

Had to add different providers for different base paths. Probably not the way it should done.

[andrey-helldar]

You can create one plugin class. See how it is implemented here:

https://github.com/Laravel-Lang/lang/blob/main/src/Plugin.php

the strings from vendor/laravel-lang/starter-kits/locales/en/json.json are not outputed to en.json. Is there another thing I need to configure? Thanks.

Just add the path to the files to the plugin class. For example:

https://github.com/Laravel-Lang/lang/blob/main/src/Plugins/Laravel/Master.php
