User reviews

I have an REST API that returns language specific data. This middleware checks the browser's language. App::setLocale($request->getPreferredLanguage(config('orchard.language.supported'))); Until recently I have been using another Locale settings extension but is randomly decided to not be supported by Google anymore. No idea why. My app changes dynamically when using the old tool and language support is provided. This tool refreshes the interface but the language is not set and unset correctly. It is cute, but simply does not work well. Glad to revisit this if it gets fixed.

If it doesn't change the site's language then refresh it

It's not working. Checked on “https://play.google.com/”.
