## What it is
A Laravel package that adds easy internationalization (i18n) support, including locale detection from the browser, smart redirects, and routes defined once for multiple languages. It provides helpers like a language selector and supports translatable routes, caching, and hiding the default locale in URLs.

## Use cases
- serve a laravel app in multiple languages
- detect user language from browser headers in laravel
- define localized routes once for all locales
- add a language switcher to a laravel site
- hide the default locale prefix from urls
- redirect users to their saved locale

## When to choose
- you have an existing Laravel app using this package and need compatibility updates
- you need dynamic per-request localized routes and don't rely on route:cache
- you want a mature, widely-used Laravel localization package with battle-tested helpers

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new Laravel project and want route caching support out of the box
- you need statically registered localized routes
- your project is not built on Laravel or PHP

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: internationalization, routing, middleware, templating
- domain: web-development, backend
- platform: php, self-hosted
- tags: laravel-package, i18n, locale-detection, translated-routes, language-switcher, localization, php, web-server
