Why laravel-translation-manager is not opened by default url?

Laravel Translation Manager is a powerful tool for managing translations in Laravel applications. By default, it is not opened by the default URL because it is not a standalone application but an add-on to the Laravel framework. Instead, it is integrated into the Laravel application and can be accessed through a specific route.

To use Laravel Translation Manager, you need to install it first using Composer. Once installed, you need to publish its configuration file and set up the database connection. After that, you can access the Translation Manager by visiting the /admin/language-manager URL in your browser.

If you are not able to access the Translation Manager using the above URL, there could be several reasons for that:

  1. Routes not defined: Make sure that the routes for the Translation Manager have been defined in your routes/web.php file. You can define the routes as follows:
Route::group(['prefix' => 'admin', 'middleware' => ['auth']], function () {
    Route::get('language-manager', 'LanguageManagerController@index')->name('language-manager.index');
});
  1. Middleware not applied: Make sure that the auth middleware is applied to the /admin prefix in your app/Http/Kernel.php file:
protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [
        // ...
    ],

    'admin' => [
        // ...
        \App\Http\Middleware\Auth::class,
    ],
];
  1. Database connection not set up: Make sure that the database connection for the Translation Manager has been set up correctly in the .env file and the config/database.php file.

  2. Permissions not set: Make sure that the user who is trying to access the Translation Manager has the necessary permissions to access the /admin prefix.

  3. Caching issue: If you have enabled caching in Laravel, try clearing the cache by running the following command in your terminal:

php artisan cache:clear

After trying the above solutions, you should be able to access the Laravel Translation Manager by visiting the /admin/language-manager URL in your browser.
