Can this skill handle pluralization logic?

Yes, it supports Laravel's trans_choice syntax and pipe-separated strings to handle complex pluralization rules based on numeric counts.

What is the difference between PHP and JSON translation files?

PHP files are ideal for structured, nested keys and short identifiers, while JSON files are optimized for full-text keys in large-scale applications.

How do I change the language at runtime?

You can use the App::setLocale() facade method, typically within a middleware, to dynamically update the application language based on request parameters.

How do I start with Laravel localization using this skill?

Use the php artisan lang:publish command to generate the necessary language files and directory structure automatically.
