Problems with changing the attribute (value) of the current locale

[Basti007]

Hey, I've encountered the issue that I cannot update the locale that is currently being used. I think I've done something wrong but I'm not quite sure.

My code looks like this:

$this->category->fill([
    'name:de' => $this->nameGerman,
    'name:en' => $this->nameEnglish
]);
$this->category->save();

The variables contain the right values. The english name is updated if I set my locale to german but then the german name is not updated.

I hope that someone can help me :)

If the package is properly configured this code will 100% work and do what is expected. So the issue lives in your configuration or the form request you are using.

What could be misconfigured that this part won't work? I've followed the installation in the docs and even with hardcoded values the value of the current locale won't change.

@Basti007 I had the same problem. Not ideal but as a workaround this would make it work. Before saving.

$this->category->unsetRelation('translation');
