## What it is
A Spatie PHP package providing a HasTranslations trait that makes Laravel Eloquent model attributes translatable. Translations are stored as JSON in existing columns, requiring no extra database tables.

## Use cases
- make eloquent model attributes translatable
- store multilingual content in laravel models
- translate model fields per locale
- add multi-language support to laravel app without extra tables
- get and set translations on eloquent attributes
- fallback locale handling for missing translations

## When to choose
- you use Laravel/Eloquent and need per-attribute translations stored in JSON columns
- you want a lightweight trait-based solution with no extra translation tables
- you need locale-aware attribute access with fallback locale support

## When to avoid
- you are not using Laravel or Eloquent
- you need translation storage in separate tables or complex translation workflows
- your database is older than MySQL 5.7 and cannot use JSON columns

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: internationalization, orm
- domain: web-development, databases
- platform: php
- tags: eloquent, laravel-package, translations, json-columns, spatie, multilingual, localization, laravel
