Scope translatedIn(?string $locale = null) returns the same value as Model::all()

[Nurzzzone]

Tried both methods and gettings the same objects with all translations instead of given in scope arguments

dd(Post::all(), Post::translatedIn('en')->get());

[Nurzzzone]

• expected getting object with one translation like

Post::translatedIn('en')->first()->toArray();

[
    'id' => 1,
    'image' => 'example/path/to/image.jpg',
    'translations' => [
         [
              'id' => 1,
              'locale' => 'en'
              'title' => 'hello'
              'post_id' => 1
          ]
    ] 
]

but I'm getting

[
    'id' => 1,
    'image' => 'example/path/to/image.jpg',
    'translations' => [
         [
              'id' => 1,
              'locale' => 'en'
              'title' => 'hello'
              'post_id' => 1
          ],
         [
              'id' => 2,
              'locale' => 'fr'
              'title' => 'bonjour'
              'post_id' => 1
          ],
         [
              'id' => 3,
              'locale' => 'de'
              'title' => 'hallo'
              'post_id' => 1
          ]
    ] 
]

Post::translatedIn('en')->get(); Returns all posts being translated in english https://docs.astrotomic.info/laravel-translatable/package/scopes#translatedin-string-usdlocale-null

It's just a filter scope - it doesn't interact in any way with the translation logic itself.

Also toArray() is the worst way to do API responses - you should use explicit API Resources. https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/eloquent-resources

@Gummibeer toArray is just for the demonstration

[Gummibeer]

It doesn't demonstrate anything - as for sure the translations relationship is loaded and transformed to an array.

[Nurzzzone]

@Gummibeer so I cant get result as excepted?

[Gummibeer]

Use an API resource and transform your model and relations however you want. But you should possibly use translation (singular) or directly add the translated attributes to the resource.

$post->title will always return the translated title for the current locale.

@Gummibeer Okay, got it. i just thought i can use this scope without creating addional classes

[Gummibeer]

Like said the translatedIn() is a plain filter scope that will filter the posts to all posts with a translation in the given locale. After the posts are retrieved the same translate logic is used as always.
