    id serial PRIMARY KEY,
    key varchar (255),
    value VARCHAR (255),
    language VARCHAR(255)
    )

Array Or Json

use ahmetbarut\Translation\Translation;

require "./vendor/autoload.php";

$translation = new Translation(__DIR__ . '/lang', 'array');
$translation->setLocale('en');

trans('menu.home')

The trans function accepts a string and the first word before the period represents the file, and the word after the period is the key to the requested value.

The setLocale method also belongs to the Translation class.

Database

use ahmetbarut\Translation\Translation;

require "./vendor/autoload.php";

try {
    $connect = new PDO('pgsql:host=localhost;dbname=translation;', 'ahmetbarut', "");
}catch (PDOException $th){
    die($th->getMessage());
}

$translation = new Translation( format: 'db', connect: $connect, table: 'translation_words');
$translation->setLocale('en');

trans('home')

The trans function does not expect . in this case.
